Stefan cfef7dc443 fix(CPP): fix linux compiling issues
Fix BigInt compilation on linux
Remove c++20 optimization for NamedType
Add assert for failing getChats that was providing an easy to miss warning
Enable linux CI build
Don't run tests. They fail to run in docker with
 "malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size", probably due to status-go

# CPP App
## Setup dependencies
Note: if not stated otherwise the commands should be run from the root of the source tree
### 1. conancenter
Execute `conan remote list`. It should return this line among the results:
```bash
conancenter: https://center.conan.io [Verify SSL: True]
```
If it doesn't, consider upgrading conan with `pip install conan --upgrade` and then executing. `conan remote add -i 0 conancenter https://center.conan.io`. See [conan's documentation](https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/uploading_packages/remotes.html#conancenter) for more info.
### 2. conan libstdc++11
This applies to linux: the default conan profile does not work, since GCC uses the new C++ ABI since version 5.1 and conan, for compatibility purposes uses the old C++ ABI.
Execute this to update the profile:
```bash
conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 default
```
### 2. Install dependencies
Install latest Qt release 6.3.X
Platform specific conan profile
- Macos:
- Apple silicon: `conan install . --profile=vendor/conan-configs/apple-arm64.ini -s build_type=Release --build=missing -if=build/conan -of=build`
- Intel: `conan install . --profile=vendor/conan-configs/apple-x86_64.ini -s build_type=Release --build=missing -if=build/conan -of=build`
- Windows: TODO
- Linux: `conan install . --profile=./vendor/conan-configs/linux.ini -s build_type=Release --build=missing -if=build/conan -of=build`
## Buid, test & run
Update `CMake` to the [Latest Release](https://cmake.org/download/) or use the Qt's "$QTBASE/Tools/CMake/..."
### Build with cmake
```bash
# linux
cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$HOME/Qt/6.3.2/gcc_64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=build/conan/conan_toolchain.cmake
# MacOS: cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$HOME/Qt/6.3.2/macos" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=build/conan/conan_toolchain.cmake
# Windows: cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$HOME/Qt/6.3.2/mingw_64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=build/conan/conan_toolchain.cmake
cmake --build build
```
### Run tests
```bash
ctest --test-dir ./build
```
### Build with QtCreator
If go is installed with brew use the following configuration otherwise adapt the configuration.
Go to QtCreator's preferences navigate to Environment -> System -> Environment -> Change and paste
```ini
GOBIN=${GOPATH}/bin
GOPATH=${HOME}/go
PATH=${PATH}:${GOBIN}:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin
```
