In RequestMessagesSync subscriber is listening to a feed where all whisper
events are posted. After we received event with a request hash - subscriber will
stop actively consuming messages from a feed, as a subscription channel will
get overflow and whole feed will get blocked.
Some events are posted to a feed before request is sent, so blocked feed results
in blocked sending.
Now we will unsubscribe after relevant event was received, and terminate subscriber
explicitly by timeout.
As part of a performance profiling of mailserver we noticed that most of
the resources on a query are spend decoding the whisper envelope.
This PR changes the way we store envelopes encoding the Topic into the
database key, so we can check that and we are able to publish the
envelope rawValue if it matches.
The change is backward compatible as only newly added envelopes will
have the new key, while old ones will have to be unmarshaled.
* Replace request ID when same request is restarted
* Remove unnecessary changes
* Execute all writes atomically only if request was processed succesfully
* Fix linter
* Fix shadowed errors
* Fix spelling
* Do not append same reference to a byte slice
* Split shhext.tracker into envelopes and mail monitors
* Send envelopes on every new attempt to deliver a message
* Re-send user payloads if previous envelopes weren't acknowledged
* Remove debug api across the codebase
Currently PFS messages are decrypted and therefore modified before being
passed to the client. This make IDs computation difficult, as we pass
the whole object to the client and expect the object be passed back once
confirmed.
This changes the behavior allowing confirmation by ID, which is passed
to the client instead of the raw object.
This is a breaking change, but status-react is already forward
compatible.
This PR does a few things:
1) Add a call GetContactCode to check whether we have a bundle for a
given user.
2) Add a DH flag to the API (non-breaking change), for those messages
that we want to target all devices (contact-requests for example).
3) Fixes a few small issues with installations, namely if for example a
messages is sent without a bundle (currently not done by any client),
we still infer installation info, so that we can communicate securely
and making it truly optional.
Change to support sending multiple bundles, as needed for group chats,
limit number of devices to 3 as already done in the UI and refresh
bundle daily.
This change implements connection manager that monitors 3 types of events:
1. update of the selected mail servers
2. disconnect from a mail server
3. errors for requesting mail history
When selected mail servers provided we will try to connect with as many as possible, and later disconnect the surplus. For example if we want to connect with one mail server and 3 were selected, we try to connect with all (3), and later disconnect with 2. It will to establish connection with live mail server faster.
If mail server disconnects we will choose any other mail server from the list of selected. Unless we have only one mail server. In such case we don't have any other choice and we will leave things as is.
If request for history was expired we will disconnect such peer and try to find another one. We will follow same rules as described above.
We will have two components that will rely on this logic:
1. requesting history
If target peer is provided we will use that peer, otherwise we will request history from any selected mail server that is connected at the time of request.
2. confirmation from selected mail server
Confirmation from any selected mail server will bee used to send a feedback that envelope was sent.
I will add several extensions, but probably in separate PRs:
1. prioritize connection with mail server that was used before reboot
2. disconnect from mail servers if history request wasn't expired but failed.
3. wait some time in RequestsMessage RPC to establish connection with any mail server
Currently this feature is hidden, as certain changes will be necessary in status-react.

This commit updates geth to 1.8.17 and adds a possibility to enable metrics during compilation time.
The cascade of issues forced us to upgrade geth to 1.8.17 in order to allow enabling metrics during compilation time. 1.8.17 introduced `NodeID` refactoring and `enode` package which affected our peers pool and integration with Discovery V5.

This change adds adds an ability to use different source of time for whisper:
when envelope is created it is used to set expiry
to track when envelope needs to be expired
This time is then used to check validity of the envelope when it is received. Currently If we receive an envelope that is sent from future - peer will get disconnected. If envelope that was received has an expiry less then now it will be simply dropped, if expiry is less than now + 10*2 seconds peer will get dropped.
So, it is clear that whisper depends on time. And any time we get a skew with peers that is > 20s reliability will be grealy reduced.
In this change another source of time for whisper will be used. This time source will use ntp servers from pool.ntp.org to compute offset. When whisper queries time - this offset will be added/substracted from current time.
Query is executed every 2 mins, queries 5 different servers, cut offs min and max and the computes mean value. pool.ntp.org is resolved to different servers and according to documentation you will rarely hit the same.
