There were a couple of issues on how we handle pinned messages:
1) Clock of the message was only checked when saving, meaning that the
client would receive potentially updates that were not to be
processed.
2) We relied on the client to generate a notification for a pinned
message by sending a normal message through the wire. This PR changes
the behavior so that the notification is generated locally, either on
response to a network event or client event.
3) When deleting a message, we pull all the replies/pinned notifications
and send them over to the client so they know that those messages
needs updating.
Because `QuotedMessage` doesn't include imported message data,
some of the author information in imported messages is lost in
frontends.
This commit adds a `discordMessage` (soon replaced by `importedMessage`)
to `Quotedmessage`, although only hydrated with a subset of data,
namely author display name and avatar URL, as those are the only ones
needed by front-end atm.
This creates a smoother experience for users when they leave a community since they can see the exact same messages they had before without having to rely on the mailserver.

Unfortunately, this one slipped through when introducing helper
functions to retrieve messages.
Sometimes, queries need an additional empty `cursor` value.
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.
`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.

This adds a new `discord_messages` table and extends the persistence
APIs such that `MessagesByID` and `MessageByID` will return user
messages that include their discord message payload.
It also adds APIs to save individual discord messages.
This introduces a new table to store discord message authors.
The main reason this table is being introduce is so that we don't have
to duplicate discord message author information in the `user_messages`
table when importing discord communities (ongoing work).
In addition to the table there are also two new APIs on the messenger
persistence layer (which are later used in the import logic):
- `HasDiscordMessageAuthor`
- `SaveDiscordMessageAuthor`
Closes#2759
This commit enables mailserver cycle logic by default and make a few
changes:
1) Nodes are graylisted instead of being blacklisted for a set amount of
time. The reason is that if we blacklist, any cut in connectivity
might result in long delays before reconnecting, especially on spotty
connections.
2) Fixes an issue on the devp2p server, whereby the node would not
connect to one of the static nodes since all the connection slots
where filled. The fix is a bit inelegant, it always connects to
static nodes, ignoring maxpeers, but it's tricky to get it to work
since the code is clearly not written to select a specific node.
3) Adds support to pinned mailservers
4) Add retries to mailservers requests. It uses a closure for now, I
think we should eventually have a channel etc, but I'd leave that for
later.
