Create unprotected group in test_create_protected_grp_multidev
The test is renamed accordingly.
SystemMessage::ChatE2ee is added in encrypted groups
regardless of whether they are protected or not.
Previously new encrypted unprotected groups
had no message saying that messages are end-to-end encrypted
at all.
This change introduces a new type of contacts
identified by their public key fingerprint
rather than an e-mail address.
Encrypted chats now stay encrypted
and unencrypted chats stay unencrypted.
For example, 1:1 chats with key-contacts
are encrypted and 1:1 chats with address-contacts
are unencrypted.
Groups that have a group ID are encrypted
and can only contain key-contacts
while groups that don't have a group ID ("adhoc groups")
are unencrypted and can only contain address-contacts.
JSON-RPC API `reset_contact_encryption` is removed.
Python API `Contact.reset_encryption` is removed.
"Group tracking plugin" in legacy Python API was removed because it
relied on parsing email addresses from system messages with regexps.

Also cleaned up test_connectivity()
which tested that state does not flicker to WORKING
when there are no messages to be fetched.
The state is expected to flicker to WORKING
when checking for new messages,
so the tests were outdated since
change 3b0b2379b8
The way it was implemented it threw out all remaining messages after finding the next incoming
message. Better use FFIEventTracker functions, they are used in all the tests anyway.
If a Delta Chat message has the Message-ID already existing in the db, but a greater "Date", it's a
resent message that can be deleted. Messages having the same "Date" mustn't be deleted because they
can be already seen messages moved back to INBOX. Also don't delete messages having lesser "Date" to
avoid deleting both messages in a multi-device setting.
This patch adds new C APIs
dc_get_next_msgs() and dc_wait_next_msgs(),
and their JSON-RPC counterparts
get_next_msgs() and wait_next_msgs().
New configuration "last_msg_id"
tracks the last message ID processed by the bot.
get_next_msgs() returns message IDs above
the "last_msg_id".
wait_next_msgs() waits for new message notification
and calls get_next_msgs().
wait_next_msgs() can be used to build
a separate message processing loop
independent of the event loop.
Async Python API get_fresh_messages_in_arrival_order()
is deprecated in favor of get_next_messages().
Introduced Python APIs:
- Account.wait_next_incoming_message()
- Message.is_from_self()
- Message.is_from_device()
Introduced Rust APIs:
- Context.set_config_u32()
- Context.get_config_u32()
To create encrypted account with account manager, call
dc_accounts_add_closed_account(). Open this account with
dc_context_open() using the passphrase you want to use for encryption.
When application is loaded next time and account manager is created,
it will open all accounts that have no passphrase set. For encrypted
accounts dc_context_is_open() will return 0. To open them, call
dc_context_open() with the correct passphrase. After opening, call
dc_context_start_io() on this account or just dc_accounts_start_io()
to start all accounts that are not started yet.
Support for legacy SQLite-based backup format is removed in this
commit.
`cutil.from_dc_charpointer()` is guaranteed to return `str`, while
`cutil.from_optional_dc_charpointer()` may return `None` if C function
returns `NULL`.
`deltachat.const` module now defines `__getattr__` and `__dir__` as
suggested by https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0562/
mypy detects that `__getattr__` is defined and does not show errors
for `DC_*` constants which cannot be detected statically.
mypy is added to `tox.ini`, so type check can be run with `tox -e mypy`.
Contact request chats are not merged into a single virtual "deaddrop"
chat anymore. Instead, they are shown in the chatlist the same way as
other chats, but sending of messages to them is not allowed and MDNs
are not sent automatically until the chat is "accepted" by the user.
New API:
- dc_chat_is_contact_request(): returns true if chat is a contact
request. In this case option to accept and block the chat via
dc_accept_chat() and dc_block_chat() should be shown in the UI.
- dc_accept_chat(): accept contact request and unblock the chat
- dc_block_chat(): decline contact request and block the chat
Removed API:
- dc_create_chat_by_msg_id(): deprecated 2021-02-07 in favor of
dc_decide_on_contact_request()
- dc_marknoticed_contact(): deprecated 2021-02-07 in favor of
dc_decide_on_contact_request()
- dc_decide_on_contact_request(): this call requires a message ID from
deaddrop chat as input. As deaddrop chat is removed, this call can't
be used anymore.
- dc_msg_get_real_chat_id(): use dc_msg_get_chat_id() instead, the
only difference between these calls was in handling of deaddrop chat
- removed DC_CHAT_ID_DEADDROP and DC_STR_DEADDROP constants

It turns out that it's pretty easy to distinguish between lots of states (currently Error/NotConnected, Connecting…, Getting new messages… and Connected). What's not that easy is distinguishing between an actual error and no network, because if the server just doesn't respond, it could mean that we don't have network or that we are trying ipv6, but only ipv4 works.
**WRT debouncing:**
Sending of EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED is not debounced, but emitted every time one of the 3 threads (Inbox, Mvbox and Sentbox) has a network error, starts fetching data, or is done fetching data.
This means that it is emitted:
- 9 times when dc_maybe_network() is called or we get network connection
- 12 times when we lose network connection
Some measurements: dc_get_connectivity() takes a little more than 1ms (in my measurements back in March), dc_get_connectivity_html() takes 10-20ms. This means that it's no immmediate problem to call them very often, might increase battery drain though. For the UI it may be a lot of work to update the title everytime; at least Android is smart enough to update the title only once.
Possible problems (we don't have to worry about them now I think):
- Due to the scan_folders feature, if the user has lots of folders, the state could be "Connecting..." for quite a long time, generally DC seemed a little unresponsive to me because it took so long for "Connecting..." to go away. Telegram has a state "Updating..." that sometimes comes after "Connecting...".
To be done in other PRs:
- Better handle the case that the password was changed on the server and authenticating fails, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1923 and https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1768
- maybe event debouncing (except for "Connected" connectivity events)
fix https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/1760
