- A new design for the import flow. It features:
- Icons at the top of every screen
- Gray background, blue buttons, thinner text
- Simpler copy
- A new design for the install flow. It features:
- Immediate entry into the QR code screen
- Animated dots to show that we're loading the QR code from the server
- Fewer screens: 1) QR 2) device name 3) sync-in-progress
- When not set up, the app opens directly into the install screen, which has been streamlined. The `--import` command-line argument will cause the app to open directly into the import flow.
- Support for two different flavors of builds - the normal build will open into the standard registration flow, and the import flavor will be exactly the same except during setup it will open directly into the import flow.
- A new design for the (dev-only) standalone registration view
- When these install sequences are active, the OS File menu has entries to allow you to switch the method of setup you'd like to use. These go away as soon as the first step is taken in any of these flows.
- The device name (chosen on initial setup) is now shown in the settings panel
- At the end of a light import, we hand off to the normal device link screen, starting at the QR code. On a full import, we remove the sensitive encryption information in the export to prevent conflicts on multiple imports.
- `Whisper.Backup.exportToDirectory()` takes an options object so you can tell it to do a light export.
- `Whisper.Backup.importFromDirectory()` takes an options object so you can force it to load only the light components found on disk. It also returns an object so you can tell whether a given import was a full import or light import.
- On start of import, we build a list of all the ids present in the messages, conversations, and groups stores in IndexedDB. This can take some time if a lot of data is in the database already, but it makes the subsequent deduplicated import very fast.
- Disappearing messages are now excluded when exporting
- Remove some TODOs in the tests
These modules together allow us to import css files from third party
components without maintaining symlinks that essentially rename them as
sass partials, which doesn't work on windows.

Handles the edge case where images in the Install steps can obscure the text below them at certain window dimensions.
In most cases, it's not possible to replicate this behavior due to minimum dimension settings in `chromium.js`. However, some window managers (such as i3) can ignore those settings, producing this bug.
This fix introduces a flexible, responsive layout to the Install steps, with the goal of keeping the action buttons in a consistent position while adapting the rest of the content to the remaining available space. The result is a clean, usable screen at any window size.
In the rare instance that a window's dimensions are less than that of the minimums set in `chromium.js`, scrollbars will appear to keep the smallest acceptable layout intact.
Potential side effects:
- Each `.step` element contains an`.inner` flexbox wrapper, which arranges its children in a column. The layout works best when each `flex-item` is an element that wraps the content inside of it. I think I accounted for all the possibilities on the Install screen, but any future `.step` items might want to keep that pattern in mind.

* Make everything bigger and bolder to account for inverse (light on
dark) text.
* Give links better hover/focus state for the sake of tab navigation.
// FREEBIE
* Refactor options.js into a view
* Break up install flow into a series of screens
* Remove bootstrap
* Make installer window static size, mostly to facilitate positioning

When first intalling, users will no longer be presented with the option
to register as a standalone client.
For developer convenience, the standalone form can still be found at
