Parse attachment ids out of the attachment pointer url and return them
as strings because the copy parsed by JSON suffers a loss of precision.
Convert them to and from the format expected by the protobuf using
facilities from decodeIO.Long.
DRY up protobuf declarations and move to a slightly briefer naming
convention.
Also dropped some ArrayBuffer -> string conversions as
ProtoBuf.js handles ArrayBuffers just fine, and in fact, more
efficiently than strings.
Finally, dropped the btoa() wrappers, because that incurs an extra
string -> string conversion before the protobuf's internal string ->
array buffer conversion. In lieu of btoa, we can simply pass in the
optional string encoding argument to the protobuf's decode method,
which in these cases should be 'binary'.

An exception is thrown when protobuf tries to encode a number as the
group id, which is declared to have type 'bytes'.
Fix by make it an ArrayBuffer instead, and increase the length to 16,
which is what the Android client uses:
c632b32ff8/src/org/thoughtcrime/securesms/database/GroupDatabase.java (L222)
Previously, if calling createNewGroup with an undefined groupId,
no groupId was generated.
This occurred because no entry for "group" + undefined exists in
localStorage, which caused this code to think undefined was a
valid group id.
Fixed by adding `|| groupId == undefined` to the while clause.
Also decoupled the groupId collision check for clarity.
Adds Backbone-based Whisper.Messages model/collection with local storage
extension. Saves sent and received messages in Whisper.Messages instead
of message map. This will assign a unique id to the message and save it
to localStorage.
Adds Backbone-based view to popup.html
Automatically updates itself when new messages are saved to
Whisper.Messages db from the background page.
Added some shiny new styles, and started splitting up css into multiple
files for sanity's sake.
