Prior to this commit we had a `CreateHistoryArchiveTorrent()` API which
takes a `startDate`, an `endDate` and a `partition` to create a bunch of
message archives, given a certain time range.
The function expects the messages to live in the database, which means,
all messages that need to be archived have to be saved there at some
point.
This turns out to be an issue when importing communities from third
party services, where, sometimes, there are several thousands of messages
including attachment payloads, that have to be save to the database
first.
There are only two options to get the messages into the database:
1. Make one write operation with all messages - this slow, takes a long
time and blocks the database until done
2. Create message chunks and perform multiple write operations - this is
also slow, takes long but makes the database a bit more responsive as
it's many smaller operations instead of one big one
Option 2) turned out to not be super feasible either as sometimes,
inserting even a single such message can take up to 10 seconds
(depending on payload)
Which brings me to the third option.
**A third option** is to not store those imported messages as waku
message into the database, just to later query them again to create the
archives, but instead create the archives right away from all the
messages that have been loaded into memory.
This is significantly faster and doesn't block the database.
To make this possible, this commit introduces
a `CreateHistoryArchiveTorrentFromMessages()` API, and
a `CreateHistoryArchiveTorrentFromDB()` API which can be used for
different use cases.

Turns out `UpdateCommunitySettings()` has never worked. Two parameters
where in the wrong order, cause the SQL statement to never find the row
it has to update.
When fetching torrent info after receiving a magnet link,
it can happen that the request times out.
We want to retry downloading the data again at least once more
before giving up
The default logger writes to `geth.log`, which makes debugging
the archive protocol pretty hard.
This adds an additional logger that logs to stdout, while keeping
the default logger intact for production.
Main changes:
- Extend saved addresses DB with sync info: sync timestamp, update timestamp
and soft removed flag
- Create custom protobuf message payload to sync saved addresses
- Cleanup saved addresses on each start of messenger, by deleting
soft removed older entries
- Sync all saved addresses on Messenger.SyncDevices calls
- Sync particular changes to saved addresses
- Add SavedAddressManager instance to messenger
- Note, can't find a clean way to pass the SavedAddressManager to the
messenger, so we create another one
- Add tests for sync and new DB API
Closes: #7229
needed
Unfortunately, this one slipped through when introducing helper
functions to retrieve messages.
Sometimes, queries need an additional empty `cursor` value.
- added `SpectateCommunity` endpoint, it is supposed to be used in
scenarios where we want to "Go to public Community" and see its
content without joining
- added `spectated` field to `Community`, it means we are observing the
community and its chats but we are not members

When initially creating settings, properties 'initialize profile_pictures_show_to'
and 'profile_pictures_visibility' are set according to the provided Setting object.
This adds a new `DiscordMessageAttachment` type which is part of
`DiscordMessage`. Along with that type, there's also a new database
table for `discord_message_attachments` and corresponding persistence
APIs.
This commit also changes how chat messages are retrieved.
Here's why:
`DiscordMessage` can have multiple `DiscordMessageAttachment`.
A chat message can have a `DiscordMessage`.
Because we're `LEFT JOIN`'ing the discord message attachments into the
chat messages, there's a possibility of multiple rows per message.
Hence, this commit ensures we collect queried discord message
attachments on chat messages.
Usually, message IDs are generated by their payload and signature and
in receiving nodes calculated in based on the same data as well.
There's no ID attached to messages in-flight.
This turns out to be a bit of a problem for messages that are being
imported from third party systems like discord, as the conversion
and saving of such messages and handling of their possible assets and
attachments are done in separate steps, which changes the message
payloads after their IDs have been generated.
Hence, we're introducing a `ThirdPartyID` property to `common.Message`
and `protobuf.WakuMessage` so receiving nodes of such messages (via the
archive protocol primarily) can easily detect third party/imported
messages and give them special treatment.
This might look like a weird requirement at a fist glance.
The reason this is needed, is because some message signals require
admin rights to take effect (e.g. PinMessage).
When messages are imported from third-party services,
translated to status messages, signed by the community, and eventually distributed
via the archive protocol, we need to ensure that messages signed
by the community itself are considered as admin privileges as well,
so they can be correctly replayed into the database.
Restore the old, previously renamed, 1662447680_add_keypairs_table.up.sql
file while keeping the current one for those who already migrated to the
new one. The extra migration is noop and saves to keep consistency in
the user data states history.
This adds a new `DownloadingHistoryArchivesFinished` signal to the
family of community archive signals. It's emitted when all to be
downloaded archives have been downloaded and handled.
shelfing it at the moment, if it becomes a problem in the future then may be we can address it then. For the moment I've just left the refactoring I already did.
`FirstMessageTimestamp` enables members of the community to determine if
there are any messages they can fetch on the community channel(chat).
`FirstMessageTimestamp` is advertised by admin for each community chat
through `CommunityDescription`. It assumes admin is online frequently
enough to capture the first channel message.
For existing communities admin determines first message timestamp by
finding oldest chat message in its local database.
