Max-width on a message bubble should be about 30em for the good readability.
However, when the window isn't wide enough, bubbles must be further limited.
The transition should happen around the point that these two rules intersect,
but it was kicking in a little late, which caused the bubbles to jump from wider
to shorter as you widened the window past a certain point. This change adjusts
the threshold for smoother and more consistent bubble resizing.
The variable name $big-avatar-min-width is an artifact of a past design and was
previously used in multiple places, but it no longer makes sense in this context
so it has been discarded.

This makes the "x" in the search bar always visible when there is
text in the search box, even if the mouse is not hovering, hopefully
making for a clearer UI around search and resolving issue #741
The implementation adds the "x.svg" as a background image to the search
box when it is classed with .active, in addition to the
-webkit-search-cancel-button, which is still there for the actual
functionality but only appears on mouse hover (one tiny snag is that
coloring appears slightly different on hover, at least on my screen -
don't know if this is a problem).
I accounted for both ltr and rtl text-direction by using
getComputedStyle(...).direction to detect from the input's dir="auto"
- if there's a more elegant way to do this, please suggest. An ideal
solution would use the :dir pseudo-class but it's not implemented
in Chrome yet - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:dir
For now, I added the direction-checking to inbox_view.js. I see that
input.search is also used in new_group_update_view.js and
recipient_input_view.js but neither of these views seem to be in use (?)
and they don't set the .active class anyway, so I ignored them.
Update: Amended version a few hours later - fixed and manually tested
color and spacing for iOS and Android Dark themes. Also made some new
SASS variables to make things DRYer and fixed my tab size.
Move away from inline style attributes for setting contact colors.
Apply colors by name via css classes instead. Also lays groundwork
for syncing contact colors.

Messages with images or media were causing the scroll position to jump
around when they loaded, because rendering them changed the height of their
elements from 0 to full-height sometime after they were inserted into
the DOM.
Now when rendering attachments, we wait for them to load so they can
render at full height immediately, then warn our parent message list
before and after a potential height change, so the scroll position can
be saved and reset.
