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.

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.
// 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.
TODO: user feedback on invalid numbers.

Previously, libtextsecure would send a sync message automatically
when appropriate. This fails if any recipient has a key conflict
or if our network connection fails mid-send.
Instead, when appropriate, return a the DataMessage encoded as an array
buffer for later syncing. This lets the application choose when to send
it, which we now do after any successful send to a recipient, rather
than after all recipients are successfully sent to.
Eventually we should move the DataMessage protobuf construction and
group sending logic to the application layer entirely, in which case
we wouldn't need libtextsecure to construct the sync message either.
Fixes#408
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.

Create a cleaner seperation between generating notifications
and updating frontend conversation views. The former is now
handled by `conversation.notify` while the latter is achieved
by triggering an event on the conversation model, which will
only be acted on if there are any views listening for it.
Additionally, instead of re-fetching the entire message history,
which is overkill, just add or update the new/modified message.
This will help speed up the newmessage event handler and also
help avoid unnecessary re-rendering when resolving key conflicts.

Follow up to ddd2e67eb5
but for incoming messages.
* Conflict state sometimes failed to be removed even though the
conflict was resolved.
* Messages failed to re-render after a conflict. We want to
re-render only the error state on outgoing messages, to avoid
flickering attachments. On incoming messages, we need to call
render to populate the message text, avatar, etc...
// FREEBIE
Previously, with a mix of text and media messages in conflict,
asynchronous callbacks aligned so as to fail to remove some of
the conflict objects on messages.
Fix by serializing conflict processing, but making sure to move
on through the message list even if some conflict resolutions fail.
Fixes#370
// FREEBIE
For non text messages (ex: media messages and group updates), the
lastMessage field was being populated with empty string, resulting in an
empty message preview in the conversation list. Instead, display 'Media
message' or 'Updated the group', etc...
// FREEBIE
Using the search field produces a filtered view of all contacts and
groups containing the input. To make this fast and scalable, add an
index on a 'tokens' array containing words from the conversation name
and different forms of phone number.
Closes#365
// FREEBIE
An exception to the previous commit, for incoming messages we should not
show a mysterious empty bubble. Instead there is some generic
non-technical error message.
// FREEBIE
Change how message errors are rendered. Errors associated with a number
will be shown under that number in the detail view rather than piling up
in the message bubble.
// FREEBIE
Fix inconsistency in error format, where we sometimes get an unexpected
Error object and sometimes get a wrapper object containing an Error.
Also start saving network errors.
// FREEBIE
Refactor outgoing message error handling to use the same success and
error handlers. This creates a somewhat strange pattern, where we call
send and pass in the promise that resolves when sending is complete, but
there's enough variety in the libtextsecure syntax for different message
sending routines that it belongs at the conversation level and only the
post-processing stuff is really shared by all messages.
// FREEBIE
The conversation's contactCollection only contains references to the
current membership, and will not provide contact info for people who
have left the group, causing their messages to render without numbers or
avatars.
