This commits re-introduce rendering of markdown text and implent a few
changes:
1) Parsing of the message content is now in status-go, this includes
markdown, line-count, and rtl. Parsing is not nested, as there's some
rendering degradation involved as we nest components, unclear exactly if
it's react-native or clojure, haven't looked too deeply into it.
2) Emojii type messages are not parsed on the sending side, not the
receiving one, using the appropriate content-type
3) Fixes a few issues with chat input rendering, currrently we use
`chats/current-chat` subscription which is very heavy and should not be
used unless necessary, and means that
any change to chat will trigger a re-render, which caused re-rendering
of input container on each received message. Also to note that
input-container is fairly heavy to render, and it's rendered twice at
each keypress on input.
The inline markdow supported is:
*italic* or _italic_
**bold** or __bold__
`inline code`
http://test.com links
\#status-tag
The block markdown supported is:
\# Headers
```
code blocks
```
> Quotereply
The styling is very basic at the moment, but can be improved.
Adding other markdown (photo,mentions) is straightforward and should
come at little performance cost (unless the component to render is
heavy, i.e a photo for example).
There are some behavioral changes with this commit:
1) Links are only parsed if starting with http:// or https://, meaning that
blah.com won't be parsed, nor www.test.com. This behavior is consistent
with discord for example and allows faster parsing at little expense to
ser experience imo. Fixes a few security issues as well.
2) Content is not anymore capped (regression), that's due to the fact that
before we only rendered text and react-native allowed us easily to limit
the number of lines, but adding markdown support means that this
strategy is not viable anymore. Performance of rendering don't see to be
very much impacted by this, I would re-introduce it if necessary, but
I'd rather do that in a separate PR.

- add option in profile on Android to enable local notifications
- use foreground service to keep the app alive when running in the background
- implement enable and disbable notification function in status module
When enabling notifications, a foreground service is started that displays
a sticky notification to make the user aware that the app is running in the
background.
Notifications are updated whenever a new.message signal is handled on java side.
Currently only one to one chats are generating notifications but that can be
easily extended to other types of messages, including mentions and keywords.
The ens name of the user as well as keywords to follow should then be passed
to the native side when calling the enable function.

This commit does a few things:
==== Ordering of messages ====
Change the ordering of messages from a mixture of timestamp/clock-value to use
only clock-value.
Datemarks are now not used for sorting anymore, which means that the
order of messages is always causally related (not the case before, as we
were breaking this property by sorting by datemark), but datemark
calculation is unreliable (a reply to a message might have a timestamp <
then the message that is replied to).
So for timestamp calculation we
naively group them ignoring "out-of-order timestamp" messages, although
there's much to improve.
It fixes an issue whereby the user would change their time and the
message will be displayed in the past, although it is still possible to
craft a message with a lower clock value and order it in the past
(there's no way we can prevent this to some extent, but there are ways
to mitigate, but outside the scope of this PR).
==== Performance of receiving messages ====
The app would freeze on pulling messages from a mailserver (100 or so).
This is due to the JS Thread being hogged by CPU calculation, coupled
with the fact that we always tried to process messages all in one go.
This strategy can't scale, and given x is big enough (200,300,1000) the
UI will freeze.
Instead, each message is now processed separately, and we leave a gap
between processing each message for the UI to respond to user input
(otherwise the app freezes again).
Pulling messages will be longer overall, but the app will be usuable
while this happen (albeit it might slow down).
Other strategies are possible (calculate off-db and do a big swap,
avoiding many re-renders etc), but this is the reccommended strategy by
re-frame author (Solving the CPU Hog problem), so sounds like a safe
base point.
The underlying data structure for holding messages was also changed, we
used an immutable Red and Black Tree, same as a sorted map for clojure, but we use
a js library as is twice as performing then clojure sorted map.
We also don't sort messages again each time we receive them O(nlogn), but we
insert them in order O(logn).
Other data structures considered but discarded:
1) Plain vector, but performance prepending/insertion in the middle
(both O(n)) were not great, as not really suited for these operations.
2) Linked list, appealing as append/prepend is O(1), while insertion is
O(n). This is probably acceptable as messages tend to come in order
(from the db, so adding N messages is O(n)), or the network (most of
them prepends, or close to the head), while mailserver would not follow this path.
An implementation of a linked list was built, which performed roughtly the
same as a clojure sorted-map (although faster append/prepend), but not
worth the complexity of having our own implementation.
3) Clojure sorted-map, probably the most versatile, performance were
acceptable, but nowhere near the javascript implementation we decided on
4) Priority map, much slower than a sorted map (twice as slow)
5) Mutable sorted map, js implementation, (bintrees), not explored this very much, but from
just a quick benchmark, performance were much worse that clojure
immutable sorted map
Given that each message is now processed separately, saving the chat /
messages is also debounced to avoid spamming status-go with network
requests. This is a temporary measure for now until that's done directly
in status-go, without having to ping-pong with status-react.
Next steps performance wise is to move stuff to status-go, parsing of
transit, validation, which is heavy, at which point we can re-consider
performance and how to handle messages.
Fixes also an issue with the last message in the chat, we were using the
last message in the chat list, which might not necessarely be the last
message the chat has seen, in case messages were not loaded and a more
recent message is the database (say you fetch historical messages for
1-to-1 A, you don't have any messages in 1-to-1 chat B loaded, you receive an
historical message for chat B, it sets it as last message).
Also use clj beans instead of js->clj for type conversion

This commit includes a few performance fixes:
1) Pass a string payload instead of an hex encoded string, to avoid
unecessary conversion
2) Don't js->clj on messages, as that's fairly expensive and we can get
away without
3) Don't use `pr-str` `read-string`, rather convert to json

All the code has been implemented in statusgo: status-im/status-go#1466
Basically all the whisper filter management is done at that level.
Technical description
On startup we load all chats and send a list of them to status go:
For a public chat: {:chatId "status"}, we create a single filter, based on the name of the chat.
For each contact added by us, each user in a group chat and each one to one chat open, we send:
{:chatId "0x", :oneToOne true}. This will create a chats, to listen to their contact code.
Any previously negotiated topic is also returned.
Once loaded, we create our filters, and upsert the mailserver topics, both of which are solely based on the filters loaded.
In order to remove a chat, we delete/stopwatching first the the filter in status-react and then ask status-go to remove the filter. For a public chat we always remove, for a one-to-one we remove only if the user is not in our contacts, or in a group chat or we have a chat open. Negotiated topics are never removed, as otherwise the other user won't be able to contact us anymore.
On stopping whisper we don't have to ask status-go to remove filters as they are removed automatically.
Some more logic can be pushed in status-go, but that will be in subsequent PRs.

- replace web3-prototype wherever possible
- currently only the money namespace is left
for future refactoring, the ideal solution
would be to use strings for big numbers all
the time and only convert for arithmetic operations
- use json-rpc call to replace trivial web3 calls
