This fix puts an end to a saga that essentially start during the
Status Prague Meetup at the end of October 2018. At the time we were
experiencing massive issues with `Connecting...` spinners in the app in the
venue we rented. We were pulling our hairs out what to do and we could not
find the cause of the issue at the time.
Three months later I deployed the following change:
https://github.com/status-im/infra-eth-cluster/commit/63a13eed
Which used `iptables` to map the `443` port onto our `30504` Status node port
using `PREROUTING` chain and `REDIRECT` jump in order to fix issues people
have been complaining about when using WiFi networks in various venues:
https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/6351
Our thinking when trying to resolve the reported issue assumed that some
networks might block outgoing connections on non-standard ports other than
the usual `80`(HTTP)/`443`(HTTPS) which would disrupt Status connectivity.
While this fix could have indeed helped a few edge cases, what it really
did was cause the Status node to stop seeing actual public IPs of the clients.
But __pure accident__ this change caused the code we inherited from
`go-ethereum` implementation of DevP2P protocol to stop throttling new
incoming connections, because the IP as which they appeared was a
`172.16.0.0/12` network address of the Docker bridge.
The `go-ethereum` code used the `!netutil.IsLAN(remoteIP)` check to
avoid throttling connections from local addresses, which included the
local Docker bridge address:
https://github.com/status-im/status-go/blob/82680830/vendor/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/p2p/netutil/net.go#L36
The fix intended to target a small number of networks with fortified
firewall configuration accidentally resolved our issues with
`Connecting...` prompts that our application showed us en masse during
our Prauge Meetup. Part of the reason for that is that venues like that
normally give out local IP addresses and use NAT to translate them onto
the only public IP address they possess.
Since out application is supposed to be usable from within networks
behind NAT like airport WiFi networks for example, it makes no sense to
keep the inbound connection throttle time implemented in `go-ethereum`.
I'm leaving `inboundThrottleTime` in because it's used to calculate
value for `dialHistoryExpiration` in:
`vendor/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/p2p/dial.go`
I believe reducing that value one we deploy this change should also
increase the speed with which the Status application is able to reconnect
to a node that was temporarily unavailable, instead waiting the 5*30 seconds.

There seems to be an issue with version 1.3, querying for topics on
postgres returns
and error:
```
panic: pq: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8"
```
Upgrading pq fixes the issue
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There was a bug on status-react where it would save filters that were
not listened to.
This commit adds a task to clean up those filters as they might result
in long syncing times.
This commit also returns topics/ranges/mailserves from messenger in
order to make the initialization of the app simpler and start moving
logic to status-go.
It also removes whisper from vendor.
This commit fixes a bug on the mvds library where the nextEpoch would be
incorrectly summed to the retry time, resulting in messages not being
retried, or retried much less frequently the longer the app was running.
It also updates the retry timing to backoff exponentially at multiple of
30 seconds.
## What has changed?
I've introduced to the public binding functionality that will compress and decompress public keys of a variety of encoding and key types. This functionality supports all major byte encoding formats and the following EC public key types:
- `secp256k1` pks
- `bls12-381 g1` pks
- `bls12-381 g2` pks
## Why make the change?
We want shorter public (chat) keys and we want to be future proof and encoding agnostic. See the issue here https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/1937
---
* Added basic signature for compresspk and uncompresspk
* Added basic encoding information
* make vendor
* formatted imports for the linter
* Reformatted imports hoping linter likes it
* This linter is capricious
* Added check that the secp256k1 key is valid
* Added test for valid key
* Added multiformat/go-varint dep
* Added public key type handling
* Added key decompression with key type handling
* Added handling for '0x' type indentifying
* Added more robust testing
* Less lint for the linting gods
* make vendor for bls12_381
* Added bls12-381 compression tests
* Added decompress key expected results
* Refactor of typed and untyped keys in tests
* Lint god appeasment
* Refactor of sample public keys
* Implemented bls12-381 decompression
* gofmt
* Renamed decode/encode funcs to be more descriptive
* Added binary bindings for key de/compression
* Refactor of func parameters
gomobile is a bit tempermental using raw bytes as a parameter, so I've decided to use string only inputs and outputs
* gofmt
* Added function documentation
* Moved multiformat de/compression into api/multiformat ns
* Moved multiformat de/compression into api/multiformat ns
* Changed compress to serialize on API
* Add status-option code
This commits changes the behavior of waku introducing a new status-code,
`2`, that replaces the current single options codes.
* linting
This resolves a dependency conflict we have with MatterBridge
which was using a newer version of the same package.
This resulted in a JSON marshalling bug that would crash the bridge.

This commit does a few things:
1) Handle membership updates using protobuf and adds the relevant
endpoints.
2) Store in memory a map of chats + contacts for faster lookups, which
are then flushed to disk on each update
3) Validate incoming messages
Sorry for the large pr, but you know, v1 :)
* Use a single Message type `v1/message.go` and `message.go` are the same now, and they embed `protobuf.ChatMessage`
* Use `SendChatMessage` for sending chat messages, this is basically the old `Send` but a bit more flexible so we can send different message types (stickers,commands), and not just text.
* Remove dedup from services/shhext. Because now we process in status-protocol, dedup makes less sense, as those messages are going to be processed anyway, so removing for now, we can re-evaluate if bringing it to status-go or not.
* Change the various retrieveX method to a single one:
`RetrieveAll` will be processing those messages that it can process (Currently only `Message`), and return the rest in `RawMessages` (still transit). The format for the response is:
`Chats`: -> The chats updated by receiving the message
`Messages`: -> The messages retrieved (already matched to a chat)
`Contacts`: -> The contacts updated by the messages
`RawMessages` -> Anything else that can't be parsed, eventually as we move everything to status-protocol-go this will go away.
