We don't want images having unsupported format or corrupted ones to be sent as `Image` and appear in
the "Images" tab in UIs because they can't be displayed correctly.
Otherwise unsupported and corrupted images are displayed in the "Images" tab in UIs and that looks
as a Delta Chat bug. This should be a rare case though, so log it as error and let the user know
that metadata isn't removed from the image at least.
Part of #6884
----
- [x] Add new chat type `InBroadcastChannel` and `OutBroadcastChannel`
for incoming / outgoing channels, where the former is similar to a
`Mailinglist` and the latter is similar to a `Broadcast` (which is
removed)
- Consideration for naming: `InChannel`/`OutChannel` (without
"broadcast") would be shorter, but less greppable because we already
have a lot of occurences of `channel` in the code. Consistently calling
them `BcChannel`/`bc_channel` in the code would be both short and
greppable, but a bit arcane when reading it at first. Opinions are
welcome; if I hear none, I'll keep with `BroadcastChannel`.
- [x] api: Add create_broadcast_channel(), deprecate
create_broadcast_list() (or `create_channel()` / `create_bc_channel()`
if we decide to switch)
- Adjust code comments to match the new behavior.
- [x] Ask Desktop developers what they use `is_broadcast` field for, and
whether it should be true for both outgoing & incoming channels (or look
it up myself)
- I added `is_out_broadcast_channel`, and deprecated `is_broadcast`, for
now
- [x] When the user changes the broadcast channel name, immediately show
this change on receiving devices
- [x] Allow to change brodacast channel avatar, and immediately apply it
on the receiving device
- [x] Make it possible to block InBroadcastChannel
- [x] Make it possible to set the avatar of an OutgoingChannel, and
apply it on the receiving side
- [x] DECIDE whether we still want to use the broadcast icon as the
default icon or whether we want to use the letter-in-a-circle
- We decided to use the letter-in-a-circle for now, because it's easier
to implement, and I need to stay in the time plan
- [x] chat.rs: Return an error if the user tries to modify a
`InBroadcastChannel`
- [x] Add automated regression tests
- [x] Grep for `broadcast` and see whether there is any other work I
need to do
- [x] Bug: Don't show `~` in front of the sender's same in broadcast
lists

Note that I removed the following guard:
```rust
if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&ContactId::SELF) {
warn!(
context,
"Received group avatar update for group chat {} we are not a member of.", chat.id
);
} else if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&from_id) {
warn!(
context,
"Contact {from_id} attempts to modify group chat {} avatar without being a member.",
chat.id,
);
} else [...]
```
i.e. with this change, non-members will be able to modify the avatar.
Things were slightly easier this way, and I think that this is in line
with non-members being able to modify the group name and memberlist
(they need to know the Group-Chat-Id, anyway), but I can also change it
back.
this PR scaled avatars using the Triangle-filter,
resulting in often better image quality and smaller files (5%).
it comes at high costs,
therefore, we do not do that unconditionally for each image sent, see
comment in the code
and https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6815

up to now, avatars were restricted to 20k, 256x256 pixel.
resulting in often poor avatar quality.
(the limitation comes from times
where unencrypted outlook inner headers were a thing;
this has changed meanwhile)
to increase quality while keeping a reasonable small size,
for "balanced quality",
we increase the allowed width to 512x512 and the allowed size to 60k.
for "worse quality", things stay unchanged at 128x128 pixel and 20k.
Now that we are deduplicating everywhere, we can get rid of some code.
The old python bindings did not get an optional `name` parameter because
they are deprecated anyway, but it would be easy to add it.
With iOS and Desktop copying the file to a to a temp file with the name
of `get_filename()`, it should be sanitized first.
The PR can be reviewed commit-by-commit or all at once.
