* add basic multi-device-sync functions * generate json * add context.parse_sync_items() * add context.execute_sync_items() * piggyback sync-commands message, add body for human-readable part * avoid double json renderings * mimeparser parses incoming .json sync-files * do not piggyback sync-files * execute sync items * return status of send_sync_msg() * send sync messages as multipart/report * add a per-item-timestamp and also allow adding other per-item-fields in the future * if the self-chat does not exist, create it blocked/hidden * create tokens closer to real qr-code needs * respect bcc_self setting, add test for that * sync qr code tokens after promoting groups * send sync-messages only if an experimental switch is set * trigger send_sync_msg() after sending messages and after creating/redraw/revive qr-code * add DC_STR_* constants to deltachat.h * adapt to refactored qr module as of #2729 * tweak test * use SendSyncMsgs config name instead of SendExperimentalSyncMsgs - we can remove or rename the config nevertheless, but have the option to keep it without renaming * tweak docs * remove currently unused effective timestamp calculation * clarify when send_sync_msg() is called * make sure, sync-messages are encrypted and are sent by SELF * tweak docs, fix typos
