Only load the most recent messages when initially rendering a
conversation. Scrolling to the top of a message list loads older
messages.
This required some slight refactoring of how we insert message elements
into the dom. If the message is added to the end of the collection,
append it at the end. Otherwise, assume it is an older message and
prepend it.
When adding elements to the top, reset the scrollPosition to its
previous distance from scrollHeight. This keeps the current set of
elements fixed in the viewport.

Add db adapter support for clean cursor termination when passing
options.index and options.limit together. Previously this would cause a
crash because options.conditions was undefined.
// FREEBIE
Bubbles are limited to 30em to facilitate comfortable reading length.
The width of the message list is limited to aid visual threading
of the conversation. The overall layout is restricted to 1300px and
centered if the window is much wider.
The header avatar resizes responsively to save room when the window
gets narrow
// FREEBIE
Renames extension.windows.beforeUnload to onSuspend, to match the
underlying chrome api call. onClosed fires when the frontend app window
is closed, while onSuspend fires when the background page is closed or
refreshed (which amounts to an app restart).
Frontend views are initialized iff the inbox window is opened, and so
should always be listening to onClosed in order to know when they are no
longer needed.

1. Update chrome version because v40 fails to clear the session store
2. Add message view to test page and fix bad reference to chrome
3. Update the message view template in tests with new timestmap markup
// FREEBIE
* Make everything bigger and bolder to account for inverse (light on
dark) text.
* Give links better hover/focus state for the sake of tab navigation.
// FREEBIE
Create a cleaner seperation between generating notifications
and updating frontend conversation views. The former is now
handled by `conversation.notify` while the latter is achieved
by triggering an event on the conversation model, which will
only be acted on if there are any views listening for it.
Additionally, instead of re-fetching the entire message history,
which is overkill, just add or update the new/modified message.
This will help speed up the newmessage event handler and also
help avoid unnecessary re-rendering when resolving key conflicts.

Follow up to b0da4910. When inferring membership of the sender in an
unknown group, remember to save and return the group members.
Generally, this should only effect standalone clients unless someone
managed to clear their groups db table, since linked clients get group
info synced at registration.
// FREEBIE
If you're the last member of the group, it doesn't make sense to send
messages to it. Previously, we would wait forever for a callback,
causing a stuck pending state indicator.

but for incoming messages.
* Conflict state sometimes failed to be removed even though the
conflict was resolved.
* Messages failed to re-render after a conflict. We want to
re-render only the error state on outgoing messages, to avoid
flickering attachments. On incoming messages, we need to call
render to populate the message text, avatar, etc...
// FREEBIE
Display format consistent with Android:
* relative time for everything from today
* Day of week + time for within the past 7 days
* Static Month Day time for everything older
Each timestamp will only update as often as needed to stay accurate,
which is once a minute, once an hour, once a week, or never.
// FREEBIE
* Don't open message detail views from message detail views
* When message errors change, re-render the error state, but
not the message markup and contents.
* Fix renderErrors bug not removing the error class correctly.
// FREEBIE
Previously, with a mix of text and media messages in conflict,
asynchronous callbacks aligned so as to fail to remove some of
the conflict objects on messages.
Fix by serializing conflict processing, but making sure to move
on through the message list even if some conflict resolutions fail.

* Refactor options.js into a view
* Break up install flow into a series of screens
* Remove bootstrap
* Make installer window static size, mostly to facilitate positioning
// FREEBIE
When we re-register, our deviceId might change, which makes our sessions
are no longer valid since the recipient will see us as a new device.
Fixes#388
Fix a bad loop scope bug in getKeysForNumber by using forEach.
Refactor the initial process of establishing key material for devices
that do not have open sessions.
// FREEBIE
For non text messages (ex: media messages and group updates), the
lastMessage field was being populated with empty string, resulting in an
empty message preview in the conversation list. Instead, display 'Media
message' or 'Updated the group', etc...
