were stored in cache by pointers, which caused falsy cache hits in loop
because pointers with same address were created for different block
numbers. Now cache uses block numbers of uint64 as key, which can
overflow but it is not a problem since we use this cache for values
comparison, not as user data.

Updates #10246
This is the initial implementation for the new URL unfurling requirements. The
most important one is that only the message sender will pay the privacy cost for
unfurling and extracting metadata from websites. Once the message is sent, the
unfurled data will be stored at the protocol level and receivers will just
profit and happily decode the metadata to render it.
Further development of this URL unfurling capability will be mostly guided by
issues created on clients. For the moment in status-mobile:

### Terminology
In the code, I've tried to stick to the word "unfurl URL" to really mean the
process of extracting metadata from a website, sort of lower level. I use "link
preview" to mean a higher level structure which is enriched by unfurled data.
"link preview" is also how designers refer to it.
### User flows
1. Carol needs to see link previews while typing in the chat input field. Notice
from the diagram nothing is persisted and that status-go endpoints are
essentially stateless.

2. Carol sends the text message with link previews in the RPC request
wakuext_sendChatMessages. status-go assumes the link previews are good
because it can't and shouldn't attempt to re-unfurl them.
```
#+begin_src plantuml :results verbatim
Client->>Server: Call wakuext_sendChatMessages
Server->>Server: Transform link previews to\nbe proto-marshalled
Server->DB: Write link previews serialized as JSON
Server-->>Client: Updated message response

```
3. The message was sent over waku and persisted locally in Carol's device. She
should now see the link previews in the chat history. There can be many link
previews shared by other chat members, therefore it is important to serve the
assets via the media server to avoid overloading the ReactNative bridge with
lots of big JSON payloads containing base64 encoded data URIs (maybe this
concern is meaningless for desktop). When a client is rendering messages with
link previews, they will have the field linkPreviews, and the thumbnail URL
will point to the local media server.
```
#+begin_src plantuml :results verbatim

### Some limitations of the current implementation
The following points will become separate issues in status-go that I'll work on
over the next couple weeks. In no order of importance:
- Improve how multiple links are fetched; retries on failure and testing how
unfurling behaves around the timeout limits (deterministically, not by making
real HTTP calls as I did). https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/3498
- Unfurl favicons and store them in the protobuf too.
- For this PR, I added unfurling support only for websites with OpenGraph
https://ogp.me/ meta tags. Other unfurlers will be implemented on demand. The
next one will probably be for oEmbed https://oembed.com/, the protocol
supported by YouTube, for example.
- Resize and/or compress thumbnails (and favicons). Often times, thumbnails are
huge for the purposes of link previews. There is already support for
compressing JPEGs in status-go, but I prefer to work with compression in a
separate PR because I'd like to also solve the problem for PNGs (probably
convert them to JPEGs, plus compress them). This would be a safe choice for
thumbnails, favicons not so much because transparency is desirable.
- Editing messages is not yet supported.
- I haven't coded any artificial limit on the number of previews or on the size
of the thumbnail payload. This will be done in a separate issue. I have heard
the ideal solution may be to split messages into smaller chunks of ~125 KiB
because of libp2p, but that might be too complicated at this stage of the
product (?).
- Link preview deletion.
- For the moment, OpenGraph metadata is extracted by requesting data for the
English language (and fallback to whatever is available). In the future, we'll
want to unfurl by respecting the user's local device language. Some websites,
like GoDaddy, are already localized based on the device's IP, but many aren't.
- The website's description text should be limited by a certain number of
characters, especially because it's outside our control. Exactly how much has
not been decided yet, so it'll be done separately.
- URL normalization can be tricky, so I implemented only the basics to help with
caching. For example, the url https://status.im and HTTPS://status.im are
considered identical. Also, a URL is considered valid for unfurling if its TLD
exists according to publicsuffix.EffectiveTLDPlusOne. This was essential,
otherwise the default Go url.Parse approach would consider many invalid URLs
valid, and thus the server would waste resources trying to unfurl the
unfurleable.
### Other requirements
- If the message is edited, the link previews should reflect the edited text,
not the original one. This has been aligned with the design team as well.
- If the website's thumbnail or the favicon can't be fetched, just ignore them.
The only mandatory piece of metadata is the website's title and URL.
- Link previews in clients should be generated in near real-time, that is, as
the user types, previews are updated. In mobile this performs very well, and
it's what other clients like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook do.
### Decisions
- While the user typing in the input field, the client is constantly (debounced)
asking status-go to parse the text and extract normalized URLs and then the
client checks if they're already in its in-memory cache. If they are, no RPC
call is made. I chose this approach to achieve the best possible performance
in mobile and avoid the whole RPC overhead, since the chat experience is
already not smooth enough. The mobile client uses URLs as cache keys in a
hashmap, i.e. if the key is present, it means the preview is readily available
(naive, but good enough for now). This decision also gave me more flexibility
to find the best UX at this stage of the feature.
- Due to the requirement that users should be able to see independent loading
indicators for each link preview, when status-go can't unfurl a URL, it
doesn't return it in the response.
- As an initial implementation, I added the BLOB column unfurled_links to the
user_messages table. The preview data is then serialized as JSON before being
stored in this column. I felt that creating a separate table and the related
code for this initial PR would be inconvenient. Is that reasonable to you?
Once things stabilize I can create a proper table if we want to avoid this
kind of solution with serialized columns.
Add the possibility of retrieving the metadata of wallet activity based
on the given filter criteria.
Current implementation relies that after fetching the metadata, user
will follow up with more requests for details. However, after some
experimenting I'm considering extracting all required information
for the summary viewing while filtering. This way there will be no
need for another batch requests for transfers, multi-transactions and
pending transactions to show the summary. Only when user wants to see
the details for one will specifically request it.
For this first prototype, the filter criteria is limited to:
- time
- type
- addresses
Major changes:
- Add the filter definition to be used in propagating the filter
information
- Add GetActivityEntries API to return the list of activity entries
for the given addresses/chainIDs by a view in the complete list
- GetTransfersForIdentities to batch retrieve further details of the
transfers
- GetPendingTransactionsForIdentities to batch retrieve further details
of the pending transactions
- Added a new package testutils for tests.
- Added tests

This commit renames few api endpoints:
- old `AddMigratedKeyPairOrAddAccountsIfKeyPairIsAdded` renamed to `AddKeycardOrAddAccountsIfKeycardIsAdded`
- old `GetAllMigratedKeyPairs` renamed to `GetAllKnownKeycardsGroupedByKeyUID`
- old `GetMigratedKeyPairByKeyUID` renamed to `GetKeycardByKeyUID`
- old `DeleteKeypair` renamed to `DeleteAllKeycardsWithKeyUID`
This is done in Nim after the watched pending transaction changes state.
Note: tried to delete all transactions, not only multi-transaction,
as soon as the state is downloaded but it didn't work: noticed crashes
with minted transactions after restart.

strategies.
On mobile devices we might not want to load all transfers history
to avoid high internet traffic consumption or to save some space.
On desktop we will load all transfers in background.
- Moved current fetching transfers implementation to
OnDemandFetchStrategy
- Implemented QueuedAtomicGroup to cache outgoing commands above a
threshold
- Refactored some type names, methods for better clarity:
- LastKnownBlock name was misused
- Block renamed to BlockDAO to clarify what it does and avoid
confusion with geth Block type
- Cleanup - removed unused parameters and types' members
- Changed tests to use in memory DB for speedup
- Added more logging and comments
Updates #10246
The "not found" and "no contract" expected error is caught and wrapped
by ClientWithFallback. The fetching of balance history of next blocks
is aborted which is not desired.
Fix by not treating the error as a connection error in
ClientWithFallback.

This commit replaces `os.MkdirTemp` with `t.TempDir` in tests. The
directory created by `t.TempDir` is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using `os.MkdirTemp`
needs to be removed manually by calling `os.RemoveAll`, which is omitted
in some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but `t.TempDir` handles this for us nicely.

Changes applied here introduce:
- improvements to sync wallet accounts among devices (including all account types)
- backing up wallet accounts to and fetch them from waku (an information about received
wallet accounts is sent via `waku.backedup.wallet-account` signal to a client)
* Community request to join changes
* Fix read state for request to join notification
* Bring back deleted notification when updated with response
* Update Request timeout to 7 days
* Update VERSION
- Display name is now backed up only as a part of `protobuf.BackedUpProfile` message,
it is not backed up via `protobuf.SyncSetting` any more (this refers only to backing up to
and fetching data from waku, regular syncing (among devices) remains unchanged)
- When saving the display name fetched from waku, before a clock was set to the current
time when that operation is made, which was incorrect, now we're using the clock from
backed up message (`SaveSyncDisplayName` function)
This adds an additional check for collectibles when community
permissions are validated.
Specifically this uses opensea to request all NFTs given an
owner wallet and a list of contract addresses (collectibles).
This adds checks to `HandleCommunityRequestToJoin` and
`AcceptRequestToJoinCommunity` that ensure a given user's revealed
wallet addresses own the token funds required by a community.
When community has token permissions of type `BECOME_MEMBER`, the
following happens when the owner receives a request:
1. Upon verifying provided wallet addresses by the requester, the owner
node accumulates all token funds related to the given wallets that
match the token criteria in the configured permissions
2. If the requester does not meet the necessary requirements, the
request to join will be declined. If the requester does have the
funds, he'll either be automatically accepted to the community, or
enters the next stage where an owner needs to manually accept the
request.
3. The the community does not automatically accept users, then the funds
check will happen again, when the owner tries to manually accept the
request. If the necessary funds do not exist at this stage, the
request will be declined
4. Upon accepting, whether automatically or manually, the owner adds the
requester's wallet addresses to the `CommunityDescription`, such that
they can be retrieved later when doing periodic checks or when
permissions have changed.
Also, make AccountManager a dependency of Messenger.
This is needed for community token permissions as we'll need a way to access wallet accounts
and sign messages when sending requests to join a community.
The APIs have been mostly taken from GethStatusBackend and personal service.
`type` column is set for all rows to appropriate value. Before this change
accounts which were generated from the keypair created importing seed phrase
had `generated` value for the `type`.
According to above, a function for generating an account sets the `type`
based on the passed derive from address.
Community tokens has some metadata (image, description) which must be kept in waku(CommunityDescription).

Changes applied here introduce backing up keycards data to and fetch them from waku.
Information about received keycards data is sent via `sync.from.waku.keycards` signal.
The L2 networks have their own block number and average block duration,
