* save webxdc-updates for not yet downloaded messages, that are probably webxdc instances then * test webxdc updates received while instance is not yet downloaded * keep msg_id on downloading messages keeping msg_id on downloading messages has the advantage that webxdc updates and other references to the msg_id can be processed as usual. if a message expands to multiple msg_id, the last one is kept, however, this does not affect webxdc at all. (alternatives may be to update `msgs_status_updates` but that seems more complicated and even less elegant, another alternative would be to use different keys (eg. `rfc274_mid`), but that also seems not to be much easier and would waste space as well. also both alternatives would need adaption for other foreign keys) * update CHANGELOG * do not emit WebxdcStatusUpdate event in case the message is not yet downloaded * move DELETE/UPDATE to an transaction * make merge_msg_id() a little less confusing * use some webxdc-update-param from placeholder (the placeholder may be updated, the just downloaded messages is not) * more precise function name * test not directly downloading status updates * test not directly downloading mdn
