Group updates in which nothing change should still display 'Updated the
group'. Previously they would display as empty message bubbles. Fixed by
ensuring that the 'group_update' attribute is set on the model, even if
it is an empty object.

Clear the registration flag when we detect that our credentials have
been invalidated, but retain the knowledge that we've been registered
before, so as to preserve post-first-install behaviors like skipping the
introductory install screens, and accessing the main ui.

We should not ack envelope protobufs that fail to decode correctly. If
the server happens to send us such a thing it probably indicates a
protocol mismatch between it and the client, in which case the client
needs to update and re-receive the failed message.

The user-agent string includes the information needed (OS + Chrome version) and the console.get() function seems just right. The debugLog itself is not manipulated.
Only show sent_at for outgoing messages, matching Android.
The received_at timestamp reflects the time a message was saved locally.
It is necessary on both incoming and outgoing messages for sorting
purposes, but can be confusing in the context of an outgoing message
detail view, since users don't think about themselves "receiving" their
own messages, and may even interpret this as the time that a message was
received by their conversation partner's device.

This chrome alarm business is in place to help us wake up and check for
messages when running in the background. Without it, chrome will suspend
our app after a short period of inactivity. Upon waking, if the app
discovers it is not linked, it prompts you to link it. However, if
you've declined registration (i.e., because you already maxed out your
linked device limit, but chrome auto-added the app to another machine),
we should just wait until explicitly launched again.

Previously, when processing a backlog of sync messages and their
delivery receipts, we would fail to mark some messages as delivered even
though we got a receipt. This was due to an async race condition between
saving a sync message and fetching it after the receipt arrives.
Fix by re-ordering idb requests such that we save the message first and
fetch it after.

Typically, a view can specify its templateName and then use the default
render method on Whisper.View, except in some special cases like message
view or message detail where other operations are performed during
render.

While typing a number, the new contact element is faded out. When the
number becomes valid it is opaque. If the element is clicked while
invalid, it displays 'Invalid number' and waits for the input to change
again. A new conversation is only opened if the number is valid.

Refactor libphonenumber.validateNumber into libphonenumber.parseNumber,
which encapsulates the try-catch pattern used in number parsing and
returns an object of info about the input number rather tha throwing
since we expect to get some invalid number inputs the user is typing.
In the conversation model,
* Separate phone number validation from search token updating.
* Perform token update before save if the number was valid.
* Stop storing unneeded number variants as conversation properties.

Here lies the remains of the old compose flow, which must eventually be
restored for group creation flow, but will likely be rewritten entirely.
