Otherwise if an invite link is generated and the group is renamed then before the promotion, the
joined member will have the group name from the invite link, not the new one.
Four new APIs `add_transport_from_qr()`, `add_transport()`,
`list_transports()`, `delete_transport()`, as described in the draft at
"API".
The `add_tranport*()` APIs automatically stops and starts I/O; for
`configure()` the stopping and starting is done in the JsonRPC bindings,
which is not where things like this should be done I think, the bindings
should just translate the APIs.
This also completely disables AEAP for now.
I won't be available for a week, but if you want to merge this already,
feel free to just commit all review suggestions and squash-merge.
This hopefully does not trigger Apple spam filter
which seems to pass thorugh Message-IDs with hyphens.
It is not confirmed, but better blend in
by mimicking existing popular email
where possible.
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.
Instead of generating 72 random bits
and reducing them to 66 bits of Base64 characters,
generate 144 bits (18 bytes)
which is exactly 24 Base64 characters.
This should still be accepted by existing
Delta Chat clients which expect group ID
to be between 11 and 32 characters.
Message-ID creation is also simplified
to not have `Mr.` prefix
and dot in between two IDs.
Now it is a single ID followed by `@localhost`.
Some outdated documentation comments
are removed, e.g. group messages
don't start with `Gr.` already.
Add a new crate `deltachat_time` with a fake `struct SystemTimeTools` for mocking
`SystemTime::now()` for test purposes. One still needs to use `std::time::SystemTime` as a struct
representing a system time. I think such a minimalistic approach is ok -- even if somebody uses the
original `SystemTime::now()` instead of the mock by mistake, that could break only tests but not the
program itself. The worst thing that can happen is that tests using `SystemTime::shift()` and
checking messages timestamps f.e. wouldn't catch the corresponding bugs, but now we don't have such
tests at all which is much worse.
If a time value doesn't need to be sent to another host, saved to the db or otherwise used across
program restarts, a monotonically nondecreasing clock (`Instant`) should be used. But as `Instant`
may use `libc::clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)`, e.g. on Android, and does not advance while being in
deep sleep mode, get rid of `Instant` in favor of using `SystemTime`, but add `tools::Time` as an
alias for it with the appropriate comment so that it's clear why `Instant` isn't used in those
places and to protect from unwanted usages of `Instant` in the future. Also this can help to switch
to another clock impl if we find any.

This PR introduces a new core API to parse mailto links into a uniform
data format. This could be used to unify the different implementations
on the current platforms.
To complete this PR we have to decide for which APIs we want to expose
this (now) internal API (c, python, json-rpc, etc.), and if we want such
an API at all as it doesn't have a corresponding UI-PR and is not
_really_ needed.
Message.set_text() and Message.get_text() are modified accordingly
to accept String and return String.
Messages which previously contained None text
are now represented as messages with empty text.
Use Message.set_text("".to_string())
instead of Message.set_text(None).

situations, it catches quite some errors with comparable few effort.

get_provider_update_timestamp() for exactly that purpose - it is checked manually by some dev and
updated from time to time, usually before a release.

update to update the known date.

remove that function and replace it by get_last_release_timestamp that is then updated by
./scripts/set_core_version.py - the result of that is reviewed manually anyway, so that seems to be
a good place (i prefer manual review here and mistrust further automation as also dev or ci clocks
may be wrong :)
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.
