Change the placeholder content for when notifications are configured for
count-only or sender-only. Remove some options that are no longer
supported.
// 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.
// FREEBIE
Add buttons for switching between the linking flow and the standalone
registration flow. The button and standalone registration are only
availble in a development environment.
// FREEBIE
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
Add the buildExpiration config and add it to the renderer's config
object. Use grunt to write the build expiration to
config/local-production.json which will override the default value (no
expiration) in production. Finally, run this grunt task as part of the
build process.
// 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.

Database logging is helpful as a debugging tool, but it creates an
infinite loop with the debug log, which wants to write to the database,
which wants to write to the log, which wants to write to the database,
which wants to write to the log, which wants to write to the database,
which wants to write to the log, which wants to write to the database...

Just use the english locale for now. Load locale data from the
filesystem in the main process and pass it to the renderer preload
script via ipc. Note that we need the locale data to be available by the
time view scripts are loaded.
// 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.
// FREEBIE
Nothing stops us from rendering the inbox in the background page, since
it is no longer a background page at all. TODO: intercept window close
events to hide this window instead of closing it unless the app is quit
explicitly.
// FREEBIE
Because export might take a couple minutes, we now set expectations
that it might take 'several minutes' instead of just 'please wait.'
We also promote 'Install new Signal Desktop' from a text link in the
instructions to a button. This is important on the 'Completed' screen
because it is bigger and to the left of the 'Export Again' button, which
previously drew primary focus on that screen.
Lastly, we also remove the title-specific element of the support link,
so we're resilient to title changes in the future.
