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.

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.
// FREEBIE
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.

Search view triggers an open event when a valid phone number is entered
and the 'Create new contact' card is clicked.
Inbox view should listen and respond to this event. It should also
disregard select events on the new contact element since those are fired
before phone number validation.
Finally, the search view can stop listening to select events because the
inbox view is already doing so.
// FREEBIE
Search box finds or creates a conversation given a phone number in
local (to the user's region) or international format.
Previously you had to enter e164 format to set up the conversation
correctly.
If the number is not valid, do not open the conversation.

By adding the drag and drop support for media files, the default
event handlers were overwritten. Thus drag and drop did not support
text. Now, the drag and drop listeners revert to the default behaviour
when the user does not drag a file.

This file is loaded by the background page, which means it is already
bound to the background page's global context. This was not true at some
time in the distant past but is true now.

Messages that are received in the active conversation while the window
is focused, are automatically marked as read.
The conversation appears as unread for a split second as the incoming message
arrives but it gets marked as read as soon as the message is displayed.
The window title now shows the global number of unread messages as
"Signal (1)". This way the user can see the number of unread messages
in the task bar and when alt-tabbing.
Resolves: #384
We don't need to keep them in memory if we're done viewing them,
plus it avoids having to re-render a large collection when we re-open a
conversation. Now that we only load a sensible number of messages at a
time, caching them between usages is less valuable. Removing them from
the collection should free them for garbage collection.
// FREEBIE
Messages with images or media were causing the scroll position to jump
around when they loaded, because rendering them changed the height of their
elements from 0 to full-height sometime after they were inserted into
the DOM.
Now when rendering attachments, we wait for them to load so they can
render at full height immediately, then warn our parent message list
before and after a potential height change, so the scroll position can
be saved and reset.
// FREEBIE
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.
