Fixes the slow login in mobile devices when users have joined large communities,
such as the Status one. A user would get stuck for almost 20s in some devices.
We identified that the step to set-up filters in the messenger is potentially
expensive and that it is not critical to happen before the node.login signal is
emitted. The solution presented in this PR is to set-up filters inside
messenger.Start(), which the client already calls immediately after login.
With this change, users of the mobile app can login pretty fast even when they
joined large communities. They can immediately interact with other parts of the
app even if filter initialization is running in the background, like Wallet,
Activity Center, Settings, and Profile.
Breaking changes: in the mobile repository, we had to change where the endpoint
wakuext_startMessenger was called and the order of a few events to process
chats. So essentially ordering, but no data changes.

Previously, Messenger was `Start`ed multiple times, which resulted in
the shutdown process not being invoked on previously initialized
Messenger's sub-instances. This led to the failure of MVDS instance
shutdown causing massive error logs due to the attempts to read from a
closed database.
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.
This commit ensures we're relying on `chat.DeletedAtClockValue` instead
of `chat.Active` to know whether or not we need to remove the chat from
paired devices.
Because we were relying on `Active != true`, we ended up with a serious
but that would result in deactivating all chats on paired devices.
The reason the chats would disappear on paired devices is because, when
setting up a new device by importing a seedphrase, chances are this
device will receive `HandleBackUp` signals (which original from other
devices with the same account that backed up contacts etc).
When backups are handled, we create chats for every contact that's part
of the backup signal. Those chats are set to `Active = false` because
the signal handling shouldn't cause those chats to show up in the UI.
However, because those are set to `Active = false`, the next time the
user tries to sync from this devices, all those chats are considered as
"removed", hence sending "chat removed" signals when syncing (which then
causes those chats to disappear on all paired devices.
We need to rely on `DeletedAtClockValue` to know whether a chat was
indeed removed and only then emit such a signal.
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.
If the user deletes/leaves a group chat, the chat is set as not active.
This means that if we are re-invited to the chat it won't be shown to
the user.
This commit changes this behavior so that if we are re-invited to the
chat it is set as active again.
When receiving a message with save a contact in the database in order to
avoid re-calculating image/profile.
This contact is then passed to the client, which can negatively impact
performance.
This commit changes the behavior so that only those contacts that have
some custom fields (have been explicitly added by the user, have been
blocked by the user, have sent a contact request or have a verified ens
name) are passed to the client.
This commit pegs the clock value to maximum + 120 seconds from the whisper
timestamp.
In this way the we avoid the scenario where a client makes the timestamp
increase arbitrarely.
