* Implemented in briar-core as a `ScheduledExecutorService`
that gets started when the app starts
* The briar-api has a `FeedManager` interface
that the UI can use to register and unregister feeds
* In this first iteration, feeds are fetched via HTTP(S), not Tor
Closes#484
Start plugins asynchronously
This prevents other services from getting stuck behind the plugin manager while the Tor plugin is starting, which takes several seconds. The plugin manager waits for each plugin to start before stopping it.
I've also added some canaries to plugins and services to ensure instances aren't started more than once.

Poller refactoring, replace Timer with ScheduledExecutorService
* Replace Timer with ScheduledExecutorService (closes#258)
* Move automatic connection logic from PluginManager to Poller
* Reschedule polling when connections are opened or closed, making the poller more responsive to reductions in the polling interval
See merge request !180
Try harder to connect to contacts
* When an outgoing connection is lost, try to reconnect to the contact straight away
* Use periodic polling for Tor, regardless of whether our hidden service descriptor has been published
* Reduce polling intervals for all plugins (this can be reverted if we solve the connectivity issues)
Closes#262, #314. Hopefully helps with #361.

This allows the lifecycle manager to continue starting other services while plugins are starting, and allows the plugin manager to stop each plugin as soon as it has started.
BQP with QR codes
This MR implements BQP for key agreement over short-range transports. It also implements the Android UI for using BQP with QR codes.
Closes#117.
See merge request !84
When more than one invitation socket is opened, Alice should pick which one to use and Bob should use whichever one Alice picks. This fixes a race condition where each party picked a different socket and closed the other.
The polling interval increases exponentially each time polling is unsuccessful, up to a maximum of 60 minutes. The interval is reset to 2 minutes whenever a connection is made and whenever Bluetooth is re-enabled.
