ephemeral_task holds a reference to Context, preventing event emitter
from returning NULL and terminating event loop. Prior to this change,
there was no way to quickly terminate pending ephemeral_task.
the saved-messages can be deleted as any other chat;
if the feature is unneeded, this probably also makes some sense.
however, if saved-messages was deleted accidentally (yeah, i've seen that :),
it is not intuitive to see how the saved-messages feature can be restored.
this change just drops a note about how-to-restore to the device chat.
update_device_chats() takes about 2 seconds on a modern device (Android) because the
welcome image file has to be written to the disk as a blob. The problem
was that this was done after the progress bar had vanished and before
anything else happened so that I thought that something had gone wrong
multiple times.
The UIs have to remove update_device_chats(), too..
a draft may contain only a quote,
without any text set yet.
these drafts cannot be sent, however, appear in the summary -
currently with the summary-text "", which results to sth.
as "Draft: " - which looks like an error or at least a bit weird.
this pr sets the summary text to "Reply" - similar to "Image", "Video" etc. -
the UI just expects some text here, not an empty string.
the result are summaries as "Draft: Reply" on all UIs -
which, btw. is also roughly the same what Signal does in this case.
the constant comes from c-core
and was used to define the size of the string-array that time.
this is no longer needed in core
and also the UIs seems not to use it
(they will treat DC_STR* like an id,
there should be no need to know the max. DC_STR* value)
Sticky encryption rule, requiring that all replies to encrypted messages
are encrypted, applies only to messages with a quote now.

both are not used in productive:
- chat-id "in-creation" was dropped completely already in core-c
as it does not allow assigning messages to chats in time.
- message flag "starred" was added at some point and never used.
ux-wise, "disappearing messages" promises to clean up a chat -
this does not fit well with "starring" messages.
"saved messages" chat seems to be superior in that regard.
but anyway, it is not used but comes at maintainance costs,
so it is better to delete its functionality for now.
(the db entries, however, are left for now,
that might be more tricky to remove)
* Mention in dc_event_get_data2_str method that it can also return 0
* Update deltachat-ffi/deltachat.h

partly, we wrote '@return None.' for void functions,
however, some linter complain about that (recently swift)
and they're right, it does not make much sense.
'Delete emails from server' was an experimental ad-hoc function
that was added before 'Automatically delete old messages' was introduced
to allow at least some way to cleanup.
'Delete emails from server'-UI was already removed from android/ios in june
(see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/1406)
and the function never exists on desktop at all.
this pr allows prefixing custom jitsi urls with `jitsi:`
so that clients have a chance to detect these custom instances
and may start the corresponding app.
introduce the qr-code-type `DCWEBRTC:[webrtc_instance]`.
dc_check_qr() returns this as the type DC_QR_WEBRTC
and these qr-codes can be passed to dc_set_config_from_qr() then;
this finally sets `webrtc_instance` using dc_set_config().
needed for how node/js handles the chatlist currently
(it convertes the ffi-object to an js-object and throws ffi-object away directly,
this makes it hard to access dc_chatlist_get_summary() later.
