This commit provides the javascript complement to
[WebSocket-Resources](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/WebSocket-Resources),
allowing us to use a bi-directional request-response framework over
websockets.
See websocket-resources.js and websocket-resources_test.js
for usage details.
Along the way I also factored the websocket keepalive and reconnect
logic into its own file/wrapper object.
After a message is saved asynchronsly, fire an event and pass the
message attributes to frontend listeners via the chrome-runtime API.
This behavior is similar to the 'storage' event fired by localStorage.
Getting up and running with IndexedDB was pretty easy, thanks to
backbone. The tricky part was making reads and writes asynchronous.
In that process I did some refactoring on Whisper.Threads, which
has been renamed Conversations for consistency with the view names.
This change also adds the unlimitedStorage permission.
This dependency may be a little heavy for our current use case, but we can
roll with it for now and find something slimmer if it turns out yagni.

We only depend on cryptojs for this webcrypto polyfill, so let Grunt
concatenate them into one file.
The reference in the getString helper isn't needed since we use the
built in string converters on CryptoJS's word arrays.
Firstly, don't initialize textsecure.nativclient unless the browser
supports it. The mimetype-check trick is hewn from nacl-common.js.
Secondly, nativeclient crypto functions will all automatically wait for
the module to load before sending messages, so we needn't register any
onload callbacks outside nativeclient.js. (Previously, if you wanted to
do crypto with native client, you would have to register a call back and
wait for the module to load.) Now that the native client crypto is
encapsulated behind a nice interface, it can handle all that
onload-callback jazz internally: if the module isn't loaded when you
call a nativeclient function, return a promise that waits for the load
callback, and eventually resolves with the result of the requested
command. This removes the need for textsecure.registerOnLoadCallback.
Finally, although native client has its quirks, it's significantly
faster than the alternative (emscripten compiled js), so this commit
also lets the crypto backend use native client opportunistically, if
it's available, falling back to js if not, which should make us
compatible with older versions of chrome and chromium.
Build with `grunt compile && grunt concat:curve25519` after installing
emscripten.
Enable by either (a) not loading nativeclient.js or (b) setting
`textsecure.NATIVE_CLIENT = false` before loading nativeclient.js.
NB: this diff is best viewed with --ignore-whitespace
Distills crypto.js down to the hard cryptoey bones. It pulls from
webcrypto for aes and hmac, and from native client for curve25519 stuff
or potentially another object implementing the handful of needed
curve25519 functions.
Everything else formerly known as crypto, including session storage and
management, axolotl, etc.. is now protocol.js. The separation is not
quite perfect, but it's a big step.
nativeclient.js now enables talking to the native client module through
a high level interface as well as registering callbacks that will be
executed once the module is loaded. And it has tests!
Finally, this commit removes all references to the "testing_only"
object, preferring to run tests on textsecure.crypto instead.
Since I decided to preen mocha and chai, we can no longer generate the
concat file list from the preen config. We must instead explicitly list
the modules we want to concatenate. I placed this config in bower.json
so that most of the time, we won't need to change the Gruntfile.
Also added a concatenation task for test page dependencies.
To components. Because tab-completion works better when there aren't two
things starting with bower, and shorter names are nicer to deal with in
general.
Set up grunt with tasks for:
* preen - deletes unused files from bower_components, configured in
bower.json
* concat - concatenates preened bower components, configured
automagically from the preen config
It's worth noting that this setup assumes the order of files within a
package doesn't matter. This is usually true since we often include only
one file from the package.
Moved all test code into /test. Renamed test.js to crypto_test.js.
(Let's try to keep test files topical.) Merged test_views.html and
test.html into a single test/index.html.
Todo: use Grunt to generate test/index.html from index.html and files
found in /test. Also, write more tests.
