There were situations where adding/removing members from a group
would update the group member list, but the short string (the little
text listing the first couple members of the group) wouldn't be updated
until you left the screen and came back.
Currently, if you're searching for a contact to start a conversation
with or send a share to (via the Android sharing system), groups do not
appear. With this change, groups will now appear when searching, located
under their own heading.
Fixes#7202.
Closes#7577
1) Move contact URI, contact photo URI, and custom label
into recipient database, so there are no longer any
contact DB queries during Recipient object loading.
2) Use a SoftHashMap so that any referenced Recipient objects
can't get kicked out of the cache.
3) Don't load Recipient objects through the provider during sync.
This was a super expensive thing to do, and blew up the cache.
4) Only apply changes to Recipient objects during sync if they
are in the cache. Otherwise, there should be no outstanding
references, and the changes are fine going exclusively to
the DB.
Eliminate the concept of 'Recipients' (plural). There is now just
a 'Recipient', which contains an Address that is either an individual
or a group ID.
MMS groups now exist as part of the group database, just like push
groups.

This was a holdover from Signal's origins as a pure SMS app.
It causes problems, depends on undefined device specific behavior,
and should no longer be necessary now that we have all the
information we need to E164 all numbers.

1) Switch to new TextSecureAddress addressing, rather than mixing
long-based recipient IDs into libtextsecure.
2) Get rid of RecipientFormattingException throws in calls to
RecipientFactory.
Closes#2570
When searching for messages only simple threads matching the
contact names are returned as search results. With this commit
also group converstations where the group title matches the search
term are displayed in the result. This makes search results more
consistent with the conversation list as now all conversation
titles (i.e. contact names and group titles) are searched through.
Fixes#1954Closes#2216
1) In addition to the Recipient interface, there is now
RecipientDevice. A Recipient can have multiple corresponding
RecipientDevices. All addressing is done to a Recipient, but
crypto sessions and transport delivery are done to
RecipientDevice.
2) The Push transport handles the discovery and session setup
of additional Recipient devices.
3) Some internal rejiggering of Groups.
