This commit adds a tray icon to the application, shown in the system
tray bar, that can be used to minimise the application window. This
is a common feature on most desktop messaging apps (e.g. Telegram
Desktop or Slack) and allows to save space in the system task bar.
The tray icon provides a context menu that contains a button to
show/hide the application window, and a button to quit the
application. When the tray icon is clicked, the visibility of the
window is toggled. When the close (x) button of the window is
pressed, the application is not terminated but minimised to the tray
icon instead (it can be terminated by using the "Quit" entry in the
File menu or in the context menu of the tray icon).
The tray icon is disabled by default, and two command line arguments
are available to enable it:
--use-tray-icon: enables the tray icon
--start-in-tray: enables the tray icon and the application starts
minimised in the tray bar

New version dialog (OSX and Windows) should now be less obtrusive

* web requests: Don't fail if JSON not well-formed in error cases
Turns out that before our move to node-fetch, we ignored JSON.parse()

Add accelerators for top-level menu shorts, and ensure they can be localized - thanks to @cyberang3l! (#1702)
Update strings for: de, el, es, es_419, fa, hi, it, no, pt_PT, ro, ru, sl, and zh_TW (#1733)
* Added top level menu shortcuts (Fixes#1688 and #1695).
The ampersand (&) character in front of a letter in a menu label
indicates that the letter that follows '&' will be used as a keyboard
shortcut letter to access this menu. In Windows/Linux, the default
shortcut combination is Alt+<letter>.
* Use non-hardcoded menu labels.
The menu labels were hardcoded in English.
We should not be using plain strings right in the source code, but
pulling them from the `messages.json` files instead.
Import: wait for IndexedDB transactions to complete; should solve

* Script for beta config; unique data dir, in-app env/type display
To release a beta build, increment the version and add -beta-N to the
end, then go through all the standard release activities.
The prepare-build npm script then updates key bits of the package.json
to ensure that the beta build can be installed alongside a production
build. This includes a new name ('Signal Beta') and a different location
for application data.
Note: Beta builds can be installed alongside production builds.
As part of this, a couple new bits of data are shown across the app:
- Environment (development or test, not shown if production)
- App Instance (disabled in production; used for multiple accounts)
These are shown in:
- The window title - both environment and app instance. You can tell
beta builds because the app name, preceding these data bits, is
different.
- The about window - both environment and app instance. You can tell
beta builds from the version number.
- The header added to the debug log - just environment. The version
number will tell us if it's a beta build, and app instance isn't
helpful.
* Turn on single-window mode in non-production modes
Because it's really frightening when you see 'unable to read from db'
errors in the console.
* aply.sh: More instructions for initial setup and testing
* Gruntfile: Get consistent with use of package.json datas
* Linux: manually update desktop keys, since macros not available
This fix is related about issue #1587
window.drawAttention() repositioned to allow complete control over notifications by settings. It now does not draw attention when the notifications are off.
* Add emoji button and popup panel
This integrates a simple third party emoji panel with a few css overrides to
correct some relative paths and colors.
The trickiest thing about this is ensuring we don't break the layout, which is
acheived through precise control over the panel's height, and prodigious calls
to updateMessageFieldSize.

* A few visual tweaks to reduce visual complexity of emoji panel
- No gray buffer on the right side of the emoji panel

I got a 413 (Rate limit exceeded) error from the server while fetching prekeys.
The client tried to parse the response as json since we expect json from the
prekey endpoint, which threw an exception because the response was not json.
This change prevents us from treating the response as json unless it has the
Content-Type header set accordingly.
If for some reason, the client and server disagree on whether the response
should be or is json, we'll default to treating it as text.
