Protocol and handling is all analogous to contact sync: Multiple
GroupDetails structs are packed into a single attachment blob and parsed
on our end. We don't display the synced groups in the conversation list
until a new message is sent to one of them.

* Fix a css bug preventing bottom bar from sticking to the bottom.
* Resize discussion container as a function of the overall window
height. The previous difference-based method gives the wrong result
when the window height changes but the bottom-bar height stays the
same.

Implement the equivalent of java's String.hashCode on the conversation model.
Change avatar template and attributes. Use css classes for colors.
Initializing a message receiver opens the socket and starts listening
right away rather than requiring a separate call to connect. The only
other publicly accessible method is to query the socket status.

Update protobuf definitions and refactor message receive and decrypt
codepath to support new protocol, including various flavors of sync
messages (sent messages, contacts, and groups).
Also cleans up background.js and lets libtextsecure internalize
textsecure.processDecrypted and ensure that it is called before handing
DataMessages off to the application.
The Envelope structure now has a generic content field and a
legacyMessage field for backwards compatibility. We'll send outgoing
messages as legacy messages, and sync messages as "content" while
continuing to support both legacy and non-legacy messages on the receive
side until old clients have a chance to transition.
This behavior was intended to help keep the websocket alive, but keeping
the inbox window around can cause some stale frontend state. Also we now
have a keepalive alarm to check for new messages once a minute.
These collections should always be operating with the same model
instances, so let the inbox reset it self from the same in-memory
cache of conversation models used by the conversation windows.
If all the application windows are closed (and not merely hidden), the
background page will go inactive and there's nothing we can do to stop
it. However, we can ask chrome to trigger an alarm once per minute,
which will spin up the background page and check for new messages.
This will effectively keep us alive as long as chrome has open windows
or is running in the background, subject to chrome settings'
Advanced -> System -> Continue running background apps
As a chrome packaged app, we have to keep at least one window open in
order to maintain our websocket connection in the background page.
This change replaces the system window frame with custom buttons in the
inbox header, such that the 'close' button merely hides the window
rather than unloading it.

In a multi device world, it's possible to receive a receipt for a sync
message before the sync message actually arrives. In this case we need
to keep the receipt around and the process it when the message shows up.
My current version of chromium inexplicably exposes a crippled version
of chrome.browserAction even though we are now a packaged app and should
not have that functionality exposed to us anymore. This results in some
errors to the tune of "property 'foo' of undefined".
It also doesn't support the innerBounds property for window creation,
only the older (deprecated) bounds property.
Also make it accessible by providing a mode argument to the install
function. Previously developers could just edit the url but we no longer
have the address bar as an app window, so now they must close the
default installer and run the following from the background page
console: `extension.install('standalone')`.
In the production build, this should result in an error since it is not
supported / the register page is not included there.
Appify tabs, windows, browserAction
Port the extension.windows.focus function to new window api and
generalize its error handling in the case where the requested window
does not exist. An error will be passed to the callback.
Port extension.browserAction and rename it to the more generic
extension.onLaunched.
Use of the id option when opening a window ensures that attempting to
open a duplicate window merely focuses the existing window.
Finally, after registration, close the options window and open the
inbox.
Port extension.remove
Add window.storage to the background page, which loads all data from the
'items' store in indexeddb, caching them in memory for synchronous
access, then override textsecure storage to use that in memory store.
Storing multiple sessions in a single indexeddb record is prone to
clobbering data due to races between requests to update multiple device
sessions for the same number, since you have to read the current state
of the device->session map and update it. Splitting the records up makes
it so that those updates can be made in parallel. Selecting all the
sessions for a given number can still be done efficiently thanks to
indexeddb range queries.
