Michael Bradley, Jr 29e74b6b3f build: implement packaging steps for the Windows build
Implement a `pkg-windows` target that ultimately results in `Status.zip` being
written to `pkg/`.

Note: this commit does not introduce code signing for the Windows build since
that piece is still a work in progress.

`pkg-windows` creates a portable folder in `tmp/windows/dist` with the help of
[`windeployqt`][windeployqt], which copies the needed portions of Qt into the
folder.

Since DLL resolution is relatively inflexible, a launcher `Status.exe` is
created at the top-level of the folder; the launcher opens `bin/Status.exe`
while adding the portable folder's `bin/` to the `PATH`, allowing
`bin/Status.exe` to resolve the DLLs in that folder.

A few additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop]) and
availble in `PATH`:
* 7-zip
* dos2unix (provides unix2dos)
* findutils
* go
* rcedit
* wget

The above list builds on the tools list in PR #521, and the other requirements
and instructions in that PR's description still apply.

**Why not build an installer?**

When starting work on packaging for the Windows build, my initial plan was to
build an installer, and for that purpose I researched the [WiX Toolset][wix],
the [Qt Installer Framework][qtif], and some other options.

I found that building an installer is a bit complex. I then recalled, from
personal experience, that [Cmder][cmder]'s [Mini download][mini] is
installer-less. You simply unzip the download and place the `cmder_mini` folder
wherever you prefer. Such an approach was also recommended to me in one of the
Nim language's community chats.

In addition to being simpler, the installer-less approach also gives
installation of Status Desktop a lower profile than an installer-application
would since nothing is written to the Windows registry, added to the *Add or
remove programs* list, etc. I think that's a benefit given the privacy-security
focus of Status, but others may feel differently so please provide feedback on
this point!

Michael Bradley, Jr b22b500d4f refactor: store data folder in OS appropriate location
If the environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` is not empty then the
`./data` dir is created/used relative to the current working directory, as was
always the case prior to the changes introduced in this commit.

`NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` is set to `t` when doing `make run`. To get the
production behavior in development do:

```
$ NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV="" make run
```
or on Windows in a Bash shell:
```
$ NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV="" mingw32-make run
```

Closes #391

Michael Bradley, Jr 6150928062 build: enhance build system so that it can run directly on Windows
Replaces #82, which in any case is out-of-date re: the current state of this
repo's Makefile.

Introduces the ability to build `nim_status_client.exe` directly on Windows,
i.e. without needing to use Windows Subsystem for Linux or otherwise
cross-compile on Linux.

Note: this commit does not introduce packaging or code signing for the Windows
build as those pieces are still a work in progress.

The `make` targets should be run in a Bash shell, e.g. in *Git Bash* as
included in the installation of [Git for Windows][git-win].

[Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools][ms-build] must be installed.

Qt's `MSVC 2017 64-bit` and `MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit` toolchains must both be
installed, e.g. with the Qt Online Installer tool.

CMake needs to be installed; it is available via the Qt Online Installer tool
under *Developer and Designer Tools* (`CMake 3.17.1 64-bit`).

A couple of additional tools need to be installed (e.g. with [scoop][scoop])
and availble in `PATH`:
* findutils
* go

For `.dll` resolution to function as needed, in a Bash shell `PATH` should be
modified like this (might be different depending on how/where things were
installed):

```bash
export QTBASE="/c/Qt"
export QTDIR="${QTBASE}/5.14.2/msvc2017_64"

export PATH="${HOME}/scoop/shims:${PATH}"
export PATH="${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/mingw730_64/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH="${QTBASE}/Tools/CMake_64/bin:${PATH}"
```

With those modifications in place, to build `nim_status_client.exe` do:
```
mingw32-make.exe V=1
```

To run the executable do:
```
mingw32-make.exe run
```

Michael Bradley, Jr ce7e6b8d51 chore: refactor Linux and macOS build/packaging steps
Replaces PR #105.

Implement a `pkg-macos` target that ultimately results in `Status.dmg` being
written to `pkg/`. Due to [limitations][limits] of the OpenSSL `.dylib`s in
`/usr/lib/` on macOS, `libssl.a` and `libcrypto.a` are statically linked into
`bin/nim_status_client` from a [Homebrew][brew] "bottle" that is compatible
with macOS 10.13 (the oldest macOS version compatible with Qt v5.14).

`pkg-macos` creates an `.app` bundle layout in `tmp/macos/dist` based partly on
information in a very helpful [StackOverflow answer][so-answer]. Note the part
of the answer (toward the end) that explains a problem with the working
directory and how to fix it. That's the reason for the `nim_status_client.sh`
script introduced in this commit (it gets copied into the bundle). It's also
the reason for having `Info.plist` copied into the bundle before `macdeployqt`
is run (see below) and then overwriting it with `Info.runner.plist` before
creating the `.dmg` file. The app icons file `status-icon.icns` was taken from
`deployment/macos/` in the [status-react][sr] repo.

The [`macdeployqt`][macdeployqt] tool is used to copy the needed portions of Qt
into the bundle; it automatically updates `rpath`, etc. so the
`nim_status_client` executable in the bundle can locate the libs within the
bundle.

`macdeployqt` is run twice, for the "outer" and "inner" `.app` bundles,
because of an apparent bug in `macdeployqt` that results in QtWebEngine related
resources not being processed correctly on the first pass. This results in some
bloat in the final bundle but it seems unavoidable at present.

The [create-dmg][cdmg] tool is used to package the bundle into a `.dmg`
file. There are two reasons for this:
1. It produces a nice looking icon for the `.dmg` that overlays the Status logo
on an external disk icon.
2. `Info.plist` needs to be overwritten after running `macdeployqt` (see
explanation above) but before creating the `.dmg` file. If we passed the `-dmg`
cli option to `macdeployqt` to have it generate the `.dmg` file then it
wouldn't be possible to overwrite `Info.plist`.

So there is a cosmetic reason and a practical reason for using another
tool. Probably the biggest downside is that `create-dmg` is implemented in
Node.js so it needs to be installed with `npm`; that's the reason this commit
introduces `package.json`, etc. Note that zero code from `node_modules` ends up
in the `.app` bundle or the `.dmg` file.

Code signing of the macOS `.app` bundle and `.dmg` is attempted if the
environment variable `MACOS_CODESIGN_IDENT` is defined. In that case, the
environment variable `MACOS_KEYCHAIN_OPT` may optionally be defined with the
path to a preferred keychain database file.

Refactor a number of sections in the Makefile for consistency's sake, e.g. the
`appimage` target becomes `pkg-linux` and ultimately results in
`NimStatusClient-x86_64.AppImage` being written to `pkg/`.

Make a number of changes to bring the Linux packaging steps up-to-date and use
the `-qmlimport` cli option of `linuxdeployqt` to simplify resolution of Qt
plugins.

Note that `make pkg` will correctly resolve to `make pkg-linux` or `make
pkg-macos` depending on the OS in use.

Consistently use lower-case "c" in the name of *components* directories and
imports.

Ștefan Talpalaru 3cea8d661b Makefile: don't run the "setup-dev" target in vendor/status-go
That one is too aggressive by trying to install system packages and
seems only relevant for developing status-go itself, not just building
the library like we do here.

emizzle 4769f578a6 feat: Onboarding carousel
Onboarding carousel completed

Redo folder restructuring

NOTES:
1. nim_status_client binary is output to `./bin/nim_status_client`, so you'll need to update your workflow to run this file. README has been updated to reflect this. Also, if you're running VSCode, instructions for code reload were added.
2. All `ui` files now live in `ui/`
3. All lib files (ie `libstatus`) now live in `lib/`
4. Removed the Qt Creater user project file as this is unique to each user
5. Moved the project file to `ui/`, so just open up the `ui` folder in Qt creator and it should locate the project file
6. `-d:release` removed from compilation as it wasn't needed
7. Broke up main.qml in to the main app and onboarding components, however this should be broken down further into more reusable components
8. Click "Get started" to show chat
