URL unfurling (initial implementation) (#3471)
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.

```

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.

### 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.

PR to fix media server sleep issue (#3189)
* fix media-server sleep wake up issue

we now use waku v2 and hence messenger was nil.
Since it was nil, the logic in place responsible for triggering app state events was not firing and hence media server would become un-responsive after a sleep event.

this commit fixes that.

Get preferred network IP and refactor server package to increase reusability (#2626)
* Added function to get preffered network IP

Also done some refactor work oon server package to make a lot more reusable

* Added server.Option and simplified handler funcs

* Added serial number deterministically generated from pk

* Debugging TLS server connection

* Implemented configurable server ip

When accessing over the network the server needs to listen on the network port and not localhost or 127.0.0.1 . Also the cert can now have a dedicated IP

* Refactor of URL funcs to use the url package

* Removed redundant Options pattern in favour of config param

* Added full server test using GetOutboundIP

* Remove references and usage of Server.port

The application does not need to set the port, we rely on the net.Listener to pick a port.

* Version bump

* Added ToECDSA func and improved cert testing

* Added error check in test

* Split Server types, embedding raw Server funcs into specialised server types

* localhost

* Implemented DNS and IP based cert gen

ios doesn't allow for restricted ip addresses to be used in a valid tls cert

* Replace listener handling with original port store

Also added handlers as a parameter of the Server
