Hocuri 2f90b55309 feat: Stock string for joining a channel (#7480)
Add a stock string `%1$s invited you to join this channel.\n\nWaiting
for the device of %2$s to reply…`, which is shown when a user starts to
join a channel.

I did _not_ add an equivalent to `%1$s replied, waiting for being added
to the group…`, which is shown when vg-auth-required was received. I
don't think that this would add any information that's interesting to
the user, other than 'something is happening, hang on'. And the more
text on the screen, the less likely that anyone reads it. But if others
think differently, we can also add it.

With this PR, joining a channel looks like this:

```
Msg#2003: info (Contact#Contact#Info): Messages are end-to-end encrypted. [NOTICED][INFO]
Msg#2004: info (Contact#Contact#Info): Alice invited you to join this channel.

Waiting for the device of Alice to reply… [NOTICED][INFO]
Msg#2007🔒:  (Contact#Contact#2001): You joined the channel. [FRESH][INFO]
```

Delta Chat RPC python client

RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server deltachat-rpc-server and provides asynchronous interface to it.

Getting started

To use Delta Chat RPC client, first build a deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server or download a prebuilt release. Install it anywhere in your PATH.

Create a virtual environment if you don't have one already and activate it.

$ python -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate

Install deltachat-rpc-client from source:

$ cd deltachat-rpc-client
$ pip install .

Testing

  1. Build deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server.
  2. Install tox pip install -U tox
  3. Run CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=nine.testrun.org PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" tox.

Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.

Using in REPL

Setup a development environment:

$ tox --devenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ python
>>> from deltachat_rpc_client import *
>>> rpc = Rpc()
>>> rpc.start()
>>> dc = DeltaChat(rpc)
>>> system_info = dc.get_system_info()
>>> system_info["level"]
'awesome'
>>> rpc.close()
