The shield matches the Android app's key change notification, and the
clock icon was easy to do and makes it easier to visually distinguish
those items in the conversation history.

Because we only attach AttachmentViews to the DOM when they fire their
'update' event, we were subject to a race condition. If that event fired
after the final Message.render(), then it would be properly attached to
the final DOM node. If it fired early, it would end up missing from
the visible DOM entirely, attached to the old, discarded version of
the message.
This change updates our handling of a second call to loadAttachments().
Instead of bailing out if we've been called before, we attempt to
re-add our child AttachmentViews to the current DOM. But only if the
'update' event has been fired, and if their current parent node is not
what is in the DOM.

- initialize doesn't need to call update because
MessageView.renderExpiring() calls it immediately
- we don't need the className because that's already present on
the el it attaches to, part of the MessageView's template.

Re-renders happen when we re-fetch messages from the database, and our
previous technique for loading attachments resulted in a new attachment
view added for every call to render()
This change ensures that a second call to render() does not add any more
attachment views.

Usually new elements are inserted in a predictable order relative to the
sort order of the models/collection, but it's not garaunteed. This fixes
up message element insertion to handle the general case where elements
can be added in any order and must be displayed in correct order as
determined by the collection's sort function. In the worst case, we'll
have to iterate over the entire list of elements to find the right spot,
but in practice most of the time we can short circuit based on the index
of the model or by looking for the predecessor or successor of the
element in question.
This breaks the css-purity of our mixin but is necessary in order to
apply the initial offset of the hourglass animation dynamically, since
jquery can't manipulate arbitrary css on psuedo elements.
When initialized, or when expiration-related attributes change, expiring
messages will set timers to self-destruct. On self-destruct they trigger
'expired' events so that frontend listeners can clean up any collections
and views referencing them.
At startup, load all messages pending expiration so they can start their
timers even if they haven't been loaded in the frontend yet.
Todo: Remove expired conversation snippets from the left pane.
Use emojijs for replacing unicode with image tags for display. We were
already using it to replace colons with unicode. Additionally it has
a companion data repo that is kept up to date with images from all
the common image sets.

This commit stops the MessageView from adding the attachment more than once. Previously an attachment was appended to the MessageView every time an update
event was emitted, which happens when forwarding.

For messages that failed to send due to network errors, this change
allows retrying them directly from the main conversation view rather
than only from the message detail view.
