006653ed8e DB/Index Redux
This change removes the timestamp field from messages and conversations
in favor of multiple semantically named timestamp fields: sent_at,
received_at on messages; active_at on conversations. This requires/lets
us rethink and improve our indexing scheme thusly:

The inbox index on conversations will order entries by the
conversation.active_at property, which should only appear on
conversations destined for the inbox.

The receipt index will use the message.sent_at property, for effecient
lookup of outgoing messages by timestamp, for use in processing delivery
receipts.

The group index on conversation.members is multi-entry, meaning that
looking up any phone number in this index will efficiently yield all
groups the number belongs to.

The conversation index lets us scan messages in a single conversation,
in the order they were received (or the reverse order). It is a compound
index on [conversationId, received_at].

ced295a630 Move message and conversation storage to IndexedDB
Getting up and running with IndexedDB was pretty easy, thanks to
backbone. The tricky part was making reads and writes asynchronous.
In that process I did some refactoring on Whisper.Threads, which
has been renamed Conversations for consistency with the view names.

This change also adds the unlimitedStorage permission.
