Hocuri dc17f2692c fix: Fix setting up a profile and immediately transferring to a second device (#6657)
Found and fixed a bug while investigating
https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/6656. It's not the same bug,
though.

Steps to reproduce this bug:
- Create a new profile
- Transfer it to a second device
- Send a message from the first device
- -> It will never arrive on the second device, instead a warning will
be printed that you are using DC on multiple devices.

The bug was that the key wasn't created before the backup transfer, so
that the second device then created its own key instead of using the
same key as the first device.

In order to regression-test, this PR now changes `clone()` to use "Add
second device" instead of exporting and importing a backup. Exporting
and importing a backup has enough tests already.

This PR also adds an unrelated test `test_selfavatar_sync()`.

The bug was introduced by https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6574 in
v1.156.0

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()
