Floris Bruynooghe dfd58961f7 Safe load_or_generate_self_public_key
The function is made safe and now returns Result.  Functionally it now
fails when it can not write the newly generated key to the database
whereas before it still returned the key but logged a warning.  There
is no reason this shouldn't be able to store the key and silently not
storing the key may result in later operations assuming the key is
available, so failing seems like a better choice.

The function now also uses a proper mutex to guard against multiple
threads generating keys.  And this mutex is Context-scoped rather than
fully global (static).

# Delta Chat Rust
> Project porting deltachat-core to rust
[![CircleCI build status][circle-shield]][circle] [![Appveyor build status][appveyor-shield]][appveyor]
Current commit on deltachat/deltachat-core: `12ef73c8e76185f9b78e844ea673025f56a959ab`.
## Installing Rust and Cargo
To download and install the official compiler for the Rust programming language, and the Cargo package manager, run the command in your user environment:
```
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
```
## Using the CLI client
Compile and run Delta Chat Core using `cargo`:
```
cargo run --example repl -- /path/to/db
```
Configure your account (if not already configured):
```
Delta Chat Core is awaiting your commands.
> set addr your@email.org
> set mail_pw yourpassword
> configure
```
Connect to your mail server (if already configured):
```
> connect
```
Create a contact:
```
> addcontact yourfriends@email.org
Command executed successfully.
```
List contacts:
```
> listcontacts
Contact#10: <name unset> <yourfriends@email.org>
Contact#1: Me √√ <your@email.org>
```
Create a chat with your friend and send a message:
```
> createchat 10
Single#10 created successfully.
> chat 10
Single#10: yourfriends@email.org [yourfriends@email.org]
> send hi
Message sent.
```
If `yourfriend@email.org` uses DeltaChat, but does not receive message just
sent, it is advisable to check `Spam` folder. It is known that at least
`gmx.com` treat such test messages as spam, unless told otherwise with web
interface.
List messages when inside a chat:
```
> chat
```
For more commands type:
```
> help
```
## Development
```sh
# run tests
$ cargo test --all
# build c-ffi
$ cargo build -p deltachat_ffi --release
```
### Expensive tests
Some tests are expensive and marked with `#[ignore]`, to run these
use the `--ignored` argument to the test binary (not to cargo itself):
```sh
$ cargo test -- --ignored
```
## Features
- `vendored`: When using Openssl for TLS, this bundles a vendored version.
- `nightly`: Enable nightly only performance and security related features.
- `ringbuf`: Enable the use of [`slice_deque`](https://github.com/gnzlbg/slice_deque) in pgp.
