Occasionally a job may be run when the app is in a network-restricted
mode, like a form of doze. When this happens, jobs can timeout due to
lack of network access, causing a cascade of job delays. This is
particularly bad in the case of message retrieval.
To prevent this, if a job that normally requires network detects that no
network is available when running, then we start a foreground
notification.
A new, fullscreen camera capture flow that easily allows you to capture
and edit a photo before sending it. Replaces the current half-screen
camera button.
This also fixes the situation where we block group-leave messages,
preventing blocked contacts from leaving groups.

Also, this forced us to upgrade libsignal-service, which fixes the
websocket timeout issues. Thanks to @dpapavas!

If the user has an external SD card set as their default storage
(notably on a Huawei device, like the Huawei Mate 10 Lite), then
PersistentBlobProvider will try to write a file to the SD card, but
would fail to generate a URI for it due to us missing a line in our
FileProvider setup. This just adds that missing entry.
Special thanks to @aleb2000 for digging into this!

We were getting an IllegalArgumentException during channel creation on
some Samsung phones. Stack trace didn't give me much more than that, so
just adding in some additional safeguards that make sense based on
reading AOSP.
We were getting a TransactionTooLargeException when giving an
EditText a very large (1.5MB+) text block. This has been resolved
by switching to a RecyclerView to show the text line-by-line. As a
side-effect, this improves scroll performance on lower-end devices.
Also, I added a button to jump to the bottom of the log because I
really wanted one :)

Previously, we'd only show the attachment button when the user had
yet to enter any text. To add an attachment after text was entered,
you'd have to go to the three-dot menu. Now we just show a little
attach button in the text area.
I also took the opportunity to clean up other button paddings and
stuff in the compose area so things look better and react to text
sizes more predictably.
For short messages in a cluster, the contact photo was sometimes taller
than the actual bubble, leading to extra weird space. So instead we use
a container to hold the width of the cell, and set the avatar to be GONE
instead of INVISIBLE.
The media size traditionally determines the bubble size, but the author
could make it wider, which would lead to rendering issues. In the case
of media attachments (images, videos, and shared contacts), we restrict
the width of the author name. When there's a number+profile name combo,
we split the space 50/50 between the two.
In particular, there were many issues with drawing corners.
Unfortunately, there's no pretty way to get masking working on every
Android version, so we have to switch back to using custom backgrounds
and then using multiple masking methods depending on Android version.
Also, I had to remove attr references in drawables. They crash on 4.x.
