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.
This allows to distinguish exceptions,
such as database errors, from invalid user input.
For example, if the From: field of the message
does not look like an email address, the mail
should be ignored. But if there is a database
failure while writing a new contact for the address,
this error should be bubbled up.

This makes the contact ID its own newtype instead of being a plain
u32. The change purposefully does not yet try and reap any benefits
from this yet, instead aiming for a boring change that's easy to
review. Only exception is the ToSql/FromSql as not doing that yet
would also have created churn in the database code and it is easier to
go straight for the right solution here.
- Replace .ok_or_else() and .map_err() with anyhow::Context where possible.
- Use .context() to check Option for None when it's an error
- Resultify Chatlist.get_chat_id()
- Add useful .context() to some errors
- IMAP error handling cleanup
* add basic multi-device-sync functions
* generate json
* add context.parse_sync_items()
* add context.execute_sync_items()
* piggyback sync-commands message, add body for human-readable part
* avoid double json renderings
* mimeparser parses incoming .json sync-files
* do not piggyback sync-files
* execute sync items
* return status of send_sync_msg()
* send sync messages as multipart/report
* add a per-item-timestamp and also allow adding other per-item-fields in the future
* if the self-chat does not exist, create it blocked/hidden
* create tokens closer to real qr-code needs
* respect bcc_self setting, add test for that
* sync qr code tokens after promoting groups
* send sync-messages only if an experimental switch is set
* trigger send_sync_msg() after sending messages and after creating/redraw/revive qr-code
* add DC_STR_* constants to deltachat.h
* adapt to refactored qr module as of #2729
* tweak test
* use SendSyncMsgs config name instead of SendExperimentalSyncMsgs - we can remove or rename the config nevertheless, but have the option to keep it without renaming
* tweak docs
* remove currently unused effective timestamp calculation
* clarify when send_sync_msg() is called
* make sure, sync-messages are encrypted and are sent by SELF
* tweak docs, fix typos
Previously system messages were always added to the end of the chat,
even if the message triggering them was sent earlier. This is
especially important for messages about disappearing timer reset
triggered by classic email messages, as they should be placed right
after the message resetting the timer.
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
