Correctly handle messages with old timestamps for verified chats:
* They must not be sorted over a protection-changed info message
* If they change the protection, then they must not be sorted over existing other messages, because then the protection-changed info message would also be above these existing messages.
This PR fixes this:
1. Even seen messages can't be sorted into already-noticed messages anymore. **This also changes DC's behavior in the absence of verified 1:1 chats**. Before this PR, messages that are marked as seen when they are downloaded will always be sorted by their timestamp, even if it's very old.
2. protection-changed info messages are always sorted to the bottom.
**Edit:**
3. There is an exception to rule 1: Outgoing messages are still allowed to be sorted purely by their timestamp, and don't influence old messages. This is to the problem described at [*].
Together, these rules also make sure that the protection-changed info message is always right above the message causing the change.
[*] If we receive messages from two different folders, e.g. `Sent` and `Inbox`, then this will lead to wrong message ordering in many cases. I need to think about this more, or maybe someone else has an idea. One new idea that came to my mind is:
* Always sort noticed messages under the newest info message (this PR sorts them under the newest noticed message, master sorts them purely by their sent timestamp)
* Always sort unnoticed messages under the newest noticed message (that's the same behavior as in this PR and on master)
* Always sort protection-changed info messages to the bottom (as in this PR)
However, after a talk with @link2xt we instead decided to add rule 3. (see above) because it seemed a little bit easier.
