Refactor contacts models to have a single model, remove useless properties and improve updating (#16667)
* refactor(contacts): refactor 5 contact models into one and filter in QML

Fixes #16549

Refactors the 5 types of contact models (all, mutuals, banned, received and sent) into only the `allContacts` and use an Adaptor on the QML side to filter into the needed models.
This cleans the Nim side a lot and makes applying updates to the contacts' model way simpler.

* chore(contacts): remove useless and duplicated contact properties

OptionalName and isSyncing were never used.
DefaultDisplayName was not really used and is actually a duplication of preferredDisplayName, so I replaced the limited usages of DefaultDisplayName by preferredDisplayName

* refactor(contacts): improve updates by not removing and re-adding

We used to update contact items by removing them from the models and re-adding them. This is highly inefficient.
Instead, the proper way is to update only the values that changed.

* user_model: onItemChanged signal removed

* user_model: sorting by online status no longer needed on nim side

* Chat/RootStore: contactsModel property removed

* ContactsStore encapsulation improved

* ContactsStore: contacts model adaptor moved outside store
