cb1d008527 feat: Store blobs in subdirs with random names (#4309)
Recently there was an accident with a chatbot that replaced its avatar set from the command line
with an unrelated avatar of a contact. Both the `selfavatar` setting and the contact avatar `i`
param pointed to `$BLOBDIR/avatar.png` at the time it was detected. How this happened is unclear,
but it is possible that `avatar.png` was removed, unmounted or otherwise not detected by the core,
and the core stored avatar received from the contact as `avatar.png`, while `selfavatar` config
still pointed to `$BLOBDIR/avatar.png`.

Such bugs are unavoidable even if the core itself has no bugs as we cannot rely on blobdir not
reside on the faulty network filesystem, being incorrectly backed up and restored etc., so we should
assume that files may be randomly removed. Then there may be dangling `$BLOBDIR/...` references in
the database which may accidentally point to unrelated files, could even be an `avatar.png` file
sent to the bot in private.

To prevent such bugs, store blobs in blobdir subdirs with random names. Also this helps when we
receive multiple attachments having the same name -- before, random filename suffixes were added to
subsequent attachments, now attachments preserve their filenames which is important if they are
opened in external programs.

939b4b2aab feat: add 'group created instructions' as info message (#4916)
Before, it was shown by UI when the chat is empty, however, in case of
verified groups, this is never the case any longer as the 'e2ee now
guaranteed' is always added.

55aaec744a feat: Make dc_msg_get_filename() return the original attachment filename (#4309)
It can be used e.g. as a default in the file saving dialog. Also display the original filename in
the message info. For these purposes add Param::Filename in addition to Param::File and use it as an
attachment filename in sent emails.
