Class: `ConversationController`.
This function should not be used in application code as it creates potentially
invalid `Conversation` instances in our global conversation collection. We keep
making it available for testing purposes.
- A new design for the import flow. It features:
- Icons at the top of every screen
- Gray background, blue buttons, thinner text
- Simpler copy
- A new design for the install flow. It features:
- Immediate entry into the QR code screen
- Animated dots to show that we're loading the QR code from the server
- Fewer screens: 1) QR 2) device name 3) sync-in-progress
- When not set up, the app opens directly into the install screen, which has been streamlined. The `--import` command-line argument will cause the app to open directly into the import flow.
- Support for two different flavors of builds - the normal build will open into the standard registration flow, and the import flavor will be exactly the same except during setup it will open directly into the import flow.
- A new design for the (dev-only) standalone registration view
- When these install sequences are active, the OS File menu has entries to allow you to switch the method of setup you'd like to use. These go away as soon as the first step is taken in any of these flows.
- The device name (chosen on initial setup) is now shown in the settings panel
- At the end of a light import, we hand off to the normal device link screen, starting at the QR code. On a full import, we remove the sensitive encryption information in the export to prevent conflicts on multiple imports.
- `Whisper.Backup.exportToDirectory()` takes an options object so you can tell it to do a light export.
- `Whisper.Backup.importFromDirectory()` takes an options object so you can force it to load only the light components found on disk. It also returns an object so you can tell whether a given import was a full import or light import.
- On start of import, we build a list of all the ids present in the messages, conversations, and groups stores in IndexedDB. This can take some time if a lot of data is in the database already, but it makes the subsequent deduplicated import very fast.
- Disappearing messages are now excluded when exporting
- Remove some TODOs in the tests

FREEBIE
* Fetch conversations once, clean up ConversationController API
Race conditions around re-fetching have caused some problems recently,
so this removes the need to re-fetch conversations. They are fetched
once or saved once, and that is it. All interaction goes through the
ConversationController, which is the central source of truth.
We have two rules for Conversations:
1. If a conversation is in the ConversationController it doesn't need
to be fetched, but its initial fetch/save might be in progress. You
can wait for that fetch/save with conversation.initialPromise.
2. If a conversation is not already in the ConversationController, it's
not yet in the database. It needs to be added to the
ConversationController and saved to the database.
FREEBIE
* Remove Conversation.fetch() call in Message.handleDataMessage()
FREEBIE
* ConversationController.API cleanup: Fix two missing spots
FREEBIE
* Remove increment behavior
* Dismiss when new messages arrive but the window is focused
* Update the indicator when window becomes focused.

Let momentjs handle proper pluralization of relative times. This comes
at the sacrifice of displaying 'minutes' in the conversation list
timestamp rather than 'min'. Note that we don't use moment's fromNow
instance method so as to preserve the rounding logic that matches the
Android client.
// FREEBIE
* Apply the same rounding to in message bubbles and conversation list.
Also make them consistent with Android's relative times. Fixes#682
* Show full timestamps when hovering on relative time
* Compute timestamp update delays more precisely:
Set timestamps to self-update as soon as they are able to change
rather than a fixed time since the last update.
* Refactor for customizable/localizable relative times
* Update timestamp tests
* Log timestamp update intervals to help debug #460
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
Define a Whisper.View base class that automatically parses and renders
templates and attributes defined by the subclass. This saves us a good
number of lines of code as well as some marginal memory overhead, since
we are no longer saving per-instance copies of template strings.
