Add "Chat-Group-Name-Timestamp" message header and use the last-write-wins logic when updating group
names (similar to group member timestamps). Note that if the "Chat-Group-Name-Changed" header is
absent though, we don't add a system message (`MsgGrpNameChangedBy`) because we don't want to blame
anyone.
When there is a broken group (which might happen with multi-transport),
people want to leave it.
The problem is that every "Group left" message notifies all other
members and pops up the chat, so that other members also want to leave
the group.
This PR makes it so that "Group left" messages don't create a
notification, don't cause a number-in-a-cirle badge counter on the chat,
and don't sort up the chat in the chatlist.
If a group is deleted, then the group won't pop up when someone leaves
it; this worked fine already before this PR, and there also is a test
for it.
Instead of being trashed, the message containing a reaction remains in the chat, hidden and InFresh. When the chat is opened, it will be marked as Seen on the server, so that a second device removes the notifications for the reaction.

Also, this adds a benchmark.
> _greetings from the ice of the deutsche bahn 🚂🚃🚃🚃 always a pleasure to
see how well delta chat meanwhile performs in bad networks :)_
this PR adds an API to request other chat members to replace the message
text of an already sent message. scope is mainly to fix typos. this
feature is known from whatsapp, telegram, signal, and is
[requested](https://support.delta.chat/t/retract-edit-sent-messages/1918)
[since](https://support.delta.chat/t/edit-messages-in-delta-chat/899)
[years](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/198).
technically, a message with an
[`Obsoletes:`](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2076#section-3.6)
header is sent out.
```
From: alice@nine
To: bob@nine
Message-ID: 2000@nine
In-Reply-To: 1000@nine
Obsoletes: 1000@nine
Edited: this is the new text
```
the body is the new text, prefixed by the static text `Edited:` (which
is not a header). the latter is to make the message appear more nicely
in Non-Delta-MUA. save for the `In-Reply-To` header. the `Edited:`
prefix is removed by Delta Chat on receiving.
headers should be protected and moved to e2ee part as usual.
corrected message text is flagged, and UI should show this state, in
practise as "Edited" beside the date.
in case, the original message is not found, nothing happens and the
correction message is trashes (assuming the original was deleted).
question: is the `Obsoletes:` header a good choice? i _thought_ there is
some more specifica RFC, but i cannot find sth. in any case, it should
be an header that is not used otherwise by MUA, to make sure no wanted
messages disappear.
what is NOT done and out of scope:
- optimise if messages are not yet sent out. this is doable, but
introduces quite some cornercaes and may not be worth the effort
- replaces images or other attachments. this is also a bit cornercasy
and beyond "typo fixing", and better be handled by "delete for me and
others" (which may come soon, having the idea now, it seems easy :)
- get edit history in any way. not sure if this is worth the effort,
remember, as being a private messenger, we assume trust among chat
members. it is also questionable wrt privacy, seized devices etc.
- add text where nothing was before; again, scope is "typo fixing",
better avoid cornercases
- saved messages are not edited (this is anyway questionable)
- quoted texts, that are used for the case the original message is
deleted, are not updated
- edits are ignored when the original message is not there yet (out of
order, not yet downloaded)
- message status indicator does not show if edits are sent out or not -
similar to reactions, webxdc updates, sync messages. signal has the same
issue :) still, connectivity should show if there are messages pending

- This [is said to lead improve compilation
speed](https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/27/delete-cargo-integration-tests.html#Assorted-Tricks)
- When grepping for a function invocation, this makes it easy to see whether it's from a test or "real" code
- We're calling the files e.g. `chat_tests.rs` instead of `tests.rs` for the same reason why we moved `imap/mod.rs` to `imap.rs`: Otherwise, your editor always shows you that you're in the file `tests.rs` and you don't know which one.
This is only moving mimeparser and chat tests, because these were the
biggest files; we can move more files in subsequent PRs if we like it.
This partially restores the fix from c9cf2b7f2e
that was removed during the addition of new group consistency at de63527d94
but only for "Member added" messages.
Multiple "Member added" messages happen
when the same QR code is processed multiple times
by multiple devices.
Using `repeat_vars()` to generate SQL statements led to some of them having more than
`SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER` parameters and thus failing, so let's get rid of this pattern. But
let's not optimise for now and just repeat executing an SQL statement in a loop, all the places
where `repeat_vars()` is used seem not performance-critical and containing functions execute other
SQL statements in loops. If needed, performance can be improved by preparing a statement and
executing it in a loop. An exception is `lookup_chat_or_create_adhoc_group()` where `repeat_vars()`
can't be replaced with a query loop, there we need to replace the `SELECT` query with a read
transaction creating a temporary table which is used to perform the SELECT query then.
This implements new group consistency algorithm described in
<https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/6401>
New `Chat-Group-Member-Timestamps` header is added
to send timestamps of member additions and removals.
Member is part of the chat if its addition timestamp
is greater or equal to the removal timestamp.
Currently Delta Chat puts self address in the To field
to avoid the To field being empty.
There is a plan to put empty `hidden-recipients`
group there, this fix prepares the receiver for such messages.
New Delta Chat is going to send self-sent messages
with undisclosed recipients instead of placing self into the `To` field.
To avoid assigning broadcast list messages to Saved Messages chat,
we should check the mailing list headers
before attempting to assign to Saved Messages.
It was called from `receive_imf` when an outgoing message is received. But
`Imap::fetch_new_messages()` already calls `chat::mark_old_messages_as_noticed()` which does the job
better (per-message).
Otherwise the "Show Full Message..." button appears somewhere in the middle of the multipart
message, e.g. after a text in the first message bubble, but before a text in the second
bubble. Moreover, if the second/n-th bubble's text is shortened (ends with "[...]"), the user should
scroll up to click on "Show Full Message..." which doesn't look reasonable. Scrolling down looks
more acceptable (e.g. if the first bubble's text is shortened in a multipart message).
I'd even suggest to show somehow that message bubbles belong to the same multipart message, e.g. add
"[↵]" to the text of all bubbles except the last one, but let's discuss this first.
A user reported to me that after they left a group, they were implicitly readded, but there's no any
readdition message, so currently it looks in the chat like leaving it has no effect, just new
messages continue to arrive. The readdition probably happened because some member didn't receive the
user's self-removal message, anyway, at least there must be a message that the user is readded, even
if it isn't known by whom.
`receive_imf() is only used in tests and the REPL, which enables the
"internals" feature. This PR marks it as such, so that it's clear not
only from the comment that this function is not used for anything else.
If a message partially downloaded before is already IMAP-seen upon a full download, it should be
updated to `InSeen`. OTOH if it's not IMAP-seen, but already `InNoticed` locally, its state should
be preserved. So we take the maximum of two states.
There were many cases in which "member added/removed" messages were added to chats even if they
actually do nothing because a member is already added or removed. But primarily this fixes a
scenario when Alice has several devices and shares an invite link somewhere, and both their devices
handle the SecureJoin and issue `ChatGroupMemberAdded` messages so all other members see a
duplicated group member addition.
This change adds support for receiving
Autocrypt header in the protected part of encrypted message.
Autocrypt header is now also allowed in mailing lists.
Previously Autocrypt header was rejected when
List-Post header was present,
but the check for the address being equal to the From: address
is sufficient.
New experimental `protect_autocrypt` config is disabled
by default because Delta Chat with reception
support should be released first on all platforms.
I.e. add the "Messages are guaranteed to be end-to-end encrypted from now on." message and mark the
chat as protected again because no user action is required in this case. There are a couple of
problems though:
- If the program crashes earlier than the protection is restored, the chat remains
protection-broken. But this problem already exists because `ChatId::set_protection()` is never
retried.
- If multiple old unverified messages are received, protection messages added in between don't
annihilate, so they clutter the chat.
