Just send an event from the main process to the renderer,
The latter routes it the appropriate view method.
For now it's a no-op unless the main window exists and it is showing the inbox,
which will be addressed in a future commit.
// FREEBIE
Since we no longer have support for list-style notifications, stop
coalescing notifications into batches and just show contents of the last
message received. Also open the window when clicking on a notification
if it has previously been closed.
// FREEBIE
All Whisper.events listeners are now defined and bound in background.js,
and we no longer need global methods for opening the inbox and
conversation views, as those are handled by AppView or internally by
InboxView.

Traditionally, NODE_ENV refers to an environment variable. For clarity,
let's keep it that way and don't reuse it in the renderer. Also, add a
note about explicitly overriding env vars for node-config.
// FREEBIE
Introduce a top level view for navigating between the inbox and the
installer, enabling an in-window relink flow. Navigation is driven
through the openInbox and openInstaller global events.
// FREEBIE
Add environment-specific configs under `./config` and integrate with the
build system. Also changes package.json `files` from blacklist to
whitelist.
// FREEBIE
Set NODE_ENV at run time or build time to switch the app between dev and
production modes.
At build time, the current NODE_ENV will be included in the packaged
app's package.json file. At runtime we read NODE_ENV from package.json,
but also allow the local environment variable to override. A query
string parsed by a preload script exposes the value to the renderer,
which then determines whether we use the staging or production server.
Additionally, different environments have different user data
directories.

* Fetch all conversations on startup of app, not on inbox load
A recent change to fetch conversations less didn't take into account all
that can happen in the app without the inbox loaded. That only happens
when the window is shown, and messages can come in with the app in the
background. In that case, the conversation wouldn't have been loaded
from the database, but would be saved to the database anyway, losing
data.
This change fetches all conversations as soon as the the data store is
ready for a fetch. It also introduces failsafe throws to ensure that
synchronous ConversationController accesses don't happen until the
initial fetch is complete. A new getUnsafe() method was required to
account for some of the model setup that happens during that initial
conversation fetch.
Fixes#1428

* Fix tests: ConversationController.load() required before get()
FREEBIE
* Fetch conversations once, clean up ConversationController API
Race conditions around re-fetching have caused some problems recently,
so this removes the need to re-fetch conversations. They are fetched
once or saved once, and that is it. All interaction goes through the
ConversationController, which is the central source of truth.
We have two rules for Conversations:
1. If a conversation is in the ConversationController it doesn't need
to be fetched, but its initial fetch/save might be in progress. You
can wait for that fetch/save with conversation.initialPromise.
2. If a conversation is not already in the ConversationController, it's
not yet in the database. It needs to be added to the
ConversationController and saved to the database.

When processing a contact sync with embedded identity key verification info, we
were running overlapping async fetch/save operations on the same conversation
model, causing a race that tends to clobber updates to the contact info.
In this change we extend the application-level contact info handler to block on
a subsequent call to the verification handler, which effectively serializes the
fetch/save calls, and relieves the need for the message receiver to trigger a
seperate event concerning the verification info on contact sync messages.

// FREEBIE
* Add support for backup and restore
This first pass works for all stores except messages, pending some scaling
improvements.
// FREEBIE
* Import of messages and attachments
Properly sanitize filenames. Logging information that will help with
debugging but won't threaten privacy (no contact or group names),
where the on-disk directories have this information to make things
human-readable
FREEBIE
* First fully operational single-action export and import!
FREEBIE
* Add migration export flow
A banner alert leads to a blocking ui for the migration. We close the socket and
wait for incoming messages to drain before starting the export.
FREEBIE
* A number of updates for the export flow
1. We don't immediately pop the directory selection dialog box, instead
showing an explicit 'choose directory' button after explaining what is
about to happen
2. We show a 'submit debug log' button on most steps of the process
3. We handle export errors and encourage the user to double-check their
filesystem then submit their log
4. We are resilient to restarts during the process
5. We handle the user cancelling out of the directory selection dialog
differently from other errors.
6. The export process is now serialized: non-messages, then messages.
7. After successful export, show where the data is on disk

* Put migration behind a flag

* Shut down websocket before proceeding with export
FREEBIE
* Add MigrationView to test/index.html to fix test
FREEBIE
* Remove 'Submit Debug Log' button when the export process is complete
FREEBIE
* Create a 'Signal Export' directory below user-chosen dir
This cleans things up a bit so we don't litter the user's target
directory with lots of stuff.
FREEBIE
* Clarify MessageReceiver.drain() method comments
FREEBIE
* A couple updates for clarity - event names, else handling
Also the removal of wait(), which wasn't used anywhere.

* A number of wording updates for the export flow
FREEBIE
* Export complete: put dir on its own line, make text selectable

There's really no reason to retry encryption errors again if they've
already been made user-visible in a conversation.
Also, refactor e->error in background.js onError(), since both e and ev
in this method made it too easy to make a mistake.
Not sure exactly how to think about Chrome app lifetimes, so we're
being conservative. We only show the full-application loading screen
once, on first display of the inbox.

These were failing because ByteBuffers from the protobufs need to be converted
to ArrayBuffers. Fixed by useing the existing handler in MessageReceiver to
process verified messages from contact sync messages and dispatch them as their
own events, reducing some complexity on the application side.
// FREEBIE
This adds a new method to message sender for sending verification sync messages
and a new event to message receiver representing incoming verification sync
messages. Currently the event handler just logs the message.
