Fix#3611
Qt provides support for various input methods through plugins.
Since the fcitx plugin is not delivered with Qt, it needs to be
built and deployed by us.
Fixes: #4436
These changes are a follow-up to #3582.
Also support `REBUILD_NIM=true` and `REBUILD_UI=true` variables so that it's
possible to ensure a rebuild for the next invocation of `make` or `make run`.
Dev docs have been updated: https://hackmd.io/OtFjDnH6QtOl3K65fKKEGg
Also adjust run targets so that e.g. `make -j16 run` works correctly.
Closes#3639.
With these changes it will be easier to maintain, i.e. to add/remove bottles
just modify the `BOTTLES :=` list.
`brew update` is removed from `scripts/fetch-brew-bottle.sh` and instead done
in an [order-only
prerequisite](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Prerequisite-Types.html). This
allows multiple bottles to be fetched in parallel (e.g. `make -j16`) without
overlapping invocations of `brew update` (which causes script failure).
This feature works for MacOs only, for now.
On login, whether new or already created user may select between options:
"Store" - store password to the Keychain
"Not now" - don't store it now, but ask next time again
"Never" - don't store them ever and don't ask again
Selected preference may be changed later in:
`ProfileSettings > Privacy and security > Store pass to Keychain`
On the next app run, if `Store` was selected, a user will be asked to confirm
his identity using Touch Id in order to log in the app. If any error happens
he will be able to login using password.
Fixes: #2675
Adds `scripts/sign-linux-file.sh` which expectes the following variables set:
* `LINUX_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE` - Path to the GPG export of private key.
* `LINUX_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_PASS` - Password necessary to use the private key.
Given a file it creates a file with a `.asc` suffix containing the signature:

This introduces an automated MacOS notarization process for Jenkins CI.
The process involves:
* Uploading the signed DMG file to the notary service
* Checking periodically if the scanning process has completed
* Stapling the successful scan ticket to the DMG file
This is done by the `scripts/notarize-macos-pkg.sh` via the `make notarize-macos` target.
The whole process is described in more details in `docs/macos_notarization.md`.
Depends on: https://github.com/status-im/status-jenkins-lib/pull/27

Fix a typo in a recently added header file in DOtherSide that causes problems
on case-sensitive filesystems, e.g. on Linux.
Also unify the build command for DOtherSide across platforms.
This introduces the `scripts/sign-windows-bin.sh` script which is used
by the `Makefile` to sign application libraries and executables. It also
implements the logic necessary to distinguish between different types of
builds: release and non-release builds.
Some other changes:
* Refactore the `Makefile` target that creates the Windows ZIP to make less verbose.
* Added `Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.10240` to VisualStudio component
* Added `BUILD_TYPE` parameter to `Jenkinsfile`s for different platform builds

Make the docker-related logic for doing a local packaged build on Linux match
with the Jenkins CI build for Linux.
Also fix the problems with packaged builds for Linux (local or CI) where
gstreamer errors were displayed in the terminal shortly after app start/login
and there was no sound output.
In the repo:
```
$ bin/nim_status_client --help
```
In the packaged app (macOS example):
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --help
```
Output:
```
Usage:
nim_status_client [OPTIONS]...
The following options are available:
-d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory.
```
**Using the option**
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242"
```
The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with
`--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`.
Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]`
or `-d [path]`.
The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so
`--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See
[Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual.
It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying
different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2"
```
**Windows**
It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking
`bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production
build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a
session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run
but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir`
option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a
recommended terminal.
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly
instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option,
it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See
the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.
**Linux**
The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a
production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development
build:
```
$ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever
```
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead
of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is
required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the
`run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.

BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling
of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory:
```
Status (app data directory)
├── data (status-go directory)
├── qt
└── tmp
```
Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing
installations will lose their customized settings.
At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if
`Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to
`Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to
problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that
settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before
this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus.

Command-line option support is provided by
[nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils).
The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of
passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development
builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make
V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile.
A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to
`false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line
nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In
the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to
"production vs. development". At present, production builds and development
builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can
have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug
builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with
`RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized).
Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between
development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the
"data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves
as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS
`~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to
whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall
data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go.
This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion:
* The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to
store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by
status-go.
* For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative
to the root of the repo.
* For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before,
e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`.
The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be
referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It
would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We
can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing
installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of
`Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do,
I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could
cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now
to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`.
---
**NOTES**
More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is
contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both
development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories
outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on
macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing
defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See:
https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141.
In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For
example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in
`src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine
for now, but better code organization is desirable.

Closes#2268
[ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality
It's not supported to run `brew update` multiple times simultaenously. A better
fix for this can be implemented, but for now in the Makefile have target
`bottles/pcre` depend on target `bottles/openssl` so that they run serially
when `-jN` is passed to `make`.
I was originally going to change `brew update >/dev/null` to
`brew update >/dev/null || true` but decided the Makefile change provides a
better guarantee that simultaenous `brew` commands won't interfere with each
other. In the process, I revised some of the script's `echo` output just a bit.
The way it was done previously didn't always produce the intended result (for
unknown reasons), i.e. the dev app would sometimes launch with a transparent
blank square appearing in place of the expected icon.
