Transport properties client. #229
This branch moves support for exchanging transport properties from the sync layer to the client layer.
Local properties are stored in an unshared group. When a contact is added, the latest local properties are copied into a group shared with the contact. Whenever the local properties are updated, they're copied into the groups shared with all contacts.
The transport update messages include a unique device ID that prevents collisions between local and remote messages, and will be used in future for multi-device support.

This commit renames identicons to avatars in field names, and uses an ImageView
derivative to show the identicons, which should make implementing #214 easier.
Support for Destructive Panic Actions
This MR is based on and requires !52.
More details are available in the commit message.
All known issues have now been fixed by new upstream releases.
See merge request !54
PanicKit does distinguish between two kinds of panic responses:
* default responses such as logging out which are non-destructive and
do not require user interaction, so that the basics work without
configuration
* destructive responses such as deleting user data. These require
some sort of authentication to make sure they are not triggered
by malicious apps
The second type of responses is implemented with this commit.
Authentication is done by comparing the package name
which is very weak. It requires the user to opt-in to
destructive responses and to configure from which app
to receive those (since there might be many different panic
trigger apps).
While possible to uninstall an app and install one with the same
package name afterwards, this always triggers notifications to
the user (if the attacker does not have root access).
Still that is no sufficient security for Briar's requirements,
so that TrustedIntents are used as well to make sure that the
app sending the destructive trigger is signed by a signing key
that we specified before. Currently, that is the one from the
GuardianProject and from IilabEngineering who does the Amnesty
International Panic App.
The responsibility of checking that the panic TRIGGER is
legitimate lies with the app responding to the trigger, so Briar
in this case. This commit checks whether the TRIGGER comes from
a trusted app before performing destructive actions,
but does perform the default action even when triggered from
untrusted apps.
Closes#210
Transport properties manager facade, key manager refactoring. #112
Refactoring for #112: decouple the invitation and plugin code from the database with a TransportPropertiesManager facade (which will become a BSP client), and move some key management logic from the invitation code to the KeyManager. Update the integration tests to use the new FooManager facades.

* removing screen border visible on small screens
* showing noticeable error message on wrong password input
* showing keyboard again after entering wrong password
* making lost password link easier to recognize as link
* renaming keyboard toggle method from 'hide' to 'toggle'
Use new BriarRecyclerView in ConversationView
This now handles progress bar and empty view itself.
With this commit, it also scrolls down on layout changes like when
keyboard is opened.
See merge request !46
Create custom BriarRecyclerView and use it for the contact list.
It is a common pattern to have a list with an empty view and a progress bar.
This commit introduces a custom BriarRecyclerView and uses it for the
contact list.
No more manually hiding and showing empty views and progress bars is
necessary when using the new BriarRecyclerView instead of RecyclerView.
Please note that this conflicts with !44 at the moment and needs to be
implemented for !36 once merged.
Closes#198

Overhauled Conversation View with Message Bubbles
The Conversation View now uses a RecyclerView with conversation bubbles
in alternating colors and vector drawables to indicate message state.
The conversation bubbles have been taken from Telegram
and can be replaced by a UX designer later.
There's also a special bubble for unread messages,
so they are not overlooked when they come in delayed.
This commit also addresses #9, because message text can
now be selected and copied. This is done by using
android:textIsSelectable="true"
which only works for API level 11 or higher.
If we want copy and paste on lower API levels,
additional measures have to be implemented.

The button hides itself when you scroll down the list of contacts
and shows again when you scroll up.
To properly color the button, the accent color has been defined.
It uses the same color as the action bar (primary color).
I leave it to a UX designer to adapt the color scheme.
Please note that the design support library was used.
It includes the app-compat library, so this has been removed
from the `build.gradle` file.
Closes#199
properly notify the view adapter of dataset changes
in order to avoid invalidating the entire dataset when not absolutely necessary.
This change also shows unread messages in a different color,
so users do not fail to notice delayed messages.

Layout tweaks for ConversationActivity.
Centre the progress wheel and empty list message, hide the empty list message until the list has loaded.

Replace bluetooth diagram PNG image with vector XML file.
I decided to not use several raster graphics, but use an XML file instead, so the android gradle plugin creates the raster files itself at build-time. I hope that this resolves the problem you saw on that device of yours.
See merge request !30
and indicate which transports are currently available.
The icons have been chosen from the official material icons and might be
replaced later with icons that better represent the given transport.
Please note that I used vector drawables which will be automatically
converted at build time to raster graphics.
Closes#96
37 optionally disable tor
Provides:
* Checkbox in the settings view to disable Tor if not connected to a wifi network
* A network change callback in the Tor plugin to identify wifi connect/disconnect events
* A settings change event handler to disable enable tor when the user enables or disables the setting
See merge request !11
Provides a checkbox in the settings view, as well as an event handler to
disable/enable the tor network if the device is not on using the wifi
connection.
Refactors network-enabling code to a separate function. This function
is ran after the network state changes, or the settings change and
will update the status accordingly.
