This also removes BackupProvider::join in favour of implementing
Future directly. I wondered about implementing a FusedFutre to make
this a little safer but it would introduce a dependency on the futures
crate in deltachat-ffi which did not exist yet, so I didn't do that.
get_chat_msgs() function is split into new get_chat_msgs() without flags
and get_chat_msgs_ex() which accepts booleans instead of bitflags.
FFI call dc_get_chat_msgs() is still using bitflags for compatibility.
JSON-RPC calls get_message_ids() and get_message_list_items()
accept booleans instead of bitflags now.
This adds functionality to send and receive a backup over the network
using a QR code.
The sender or provider prepares the backup, sets up a server that
waits for clients. It provides a ticket in the form of a QR code
which contains connection and authentication information.
The receiver uses the QR code to connect to the provider and fetches
backup, restoring it locally.
* move 'archived link' betweeen pinned and normal cahts or above normal chats
* add icon for 'archived chats' link
* let get_fresh_msg_cnt() work for DC_CHAT_ID_ARCHIVED_LINK
* move 'archived link' topmost
* use less noticeable archived-icon
* slightly smaller archived icon
* update CHANGELOG
* allow deleting referenced contacts in UI
we are quite often getting requests of users
who want to get rid of some contact in the "new chat" list.
there is already a "delete" option,
but it does not work for referenced contacts -
however, it is not obvious for users that a contact is in use,
esp. of some mailing list or larger chat, old contacts, whatever.
this pr revives an old idea [^1] of "soft deleting" referenced contacts -
this way, the user can remove the annoying entry
without the need to understand complicated things
and finally saying that deletion is impossible :)
once the contact is reused, it will reappear,
however, this is already explained in the confirmation dialog of the UIs.
technically, this pr was simpler as expected as we already have
a Origin::Hidden, that is just reused here.

* update rust doccomment
* update changelog
* avoid races on contact deletion
chats may be created between checking for "no chats" and contact deletion.
this is prevented by putting the statement into an EXCLUSIVE transaction.
* fix failing python test
