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.

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.

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.

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...

Display format consistent with Android:
* relative time for everything from today
* Day of week + time for within the past 7 days
* Static Month Day time for everything older
Each timestamp will only update as often as needed to stay accurate,
which is once a minute, once an hour, once a week, or never.
// FREEBIE
* Don't open message detail views from message detail views
* When message errors change, re-render the error state, but
not the message markup and contents.
* Fix renderErrors bug not removing the error class correctly.
