This effectively reverts https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/964 for chat.rs, which in that PR was thought to fix something. So maybe something is still broken? But after improving tests the previous code seems to be correct. - Update Python bindings to not always use dc_prepare_msg path when sending messages with attachements. When using dc_prepare_msg the blobs need to be created in the blobdir since they will not get copied and many tests where not doing this. - Add a test that ensures that calling dc_prepare_msg with a file **not** in the blobdir fails. - Add a test that ensures that calling dc_send_msg directly with a file **not** in the blobdir copies the file to the blobdir. This test cheats a little by knowing what the filename in the blobdir will be which is implementation-dependent and thus a bit brittle. But for now it proves correct behaviour so let's go with this. - Improve the test_forward_increation test to ensure that the in-creation file only has it's final state before calling dc_send_msg. This checks the correct file data is sent out and not the preparing data, this fails with the chat.rs changes in #964 (reverted here to make this work again). Also fix the test to actually create the in-creation file in the blobdir. - Fix test_send_file_twice_unicode_filename_mangling to not use in-creation. It was not creating it's files in the blobdir and that is an error when using in-creation and it didn't seem it was trying to test something about the in-creation logic (which is tested in test_increation.py already). - Fix Message._msgtate code which presumably was not used before? - Rename `BlobObject::create_from_path` to `BlobObject::new_from_path`. All the `BlobObject::create*` calls now always create new files which is much more consistent. APIs should do what is obious.
