This was because signal infinitely tries to send message on network errors. Since we already have retrying built into the loki api we just disable this behaviour and set a cap of 3 on PushSendJobs incase.
This is to guard against behavior WorkManager has where it may
re-enqueue a job that has already been completed (if, for instance, it
was preempted).
Fixes#8268
This particularly helps with the bug where people who were newly added
to a group wouldn't receive an expiration timer until the first message
was sent.
Previously, we were running this job in PushSendJob#onCanceled().
However, with the new retry logic, this won't happen for 24 hours.
Instead, we now schedule the job in PushSendJob#onRetry().
We have to make some changes, and it's gotten to the point where
maintaining it as a separate library is more hassle than it's worth,
especially with Google releasing WorkManager as the preferred job
scheduling library.
The "contact" option in the attachments tray now brings you through an
optimized contact sharing flow, allowing you to select specific fields
to share. The contact is then presented as a special message type,
allowing you to interact with the card to add the contact to your system
contacts, invite them to signal, initiate a signal message, etc.
Strip all EXIF metadata from all JPEGs by re-encoding the JPEG. This
will keep all of the necessary visual effects of the tags (by encoding
them directly in the image data) while stripped the EXIF tags
themselves.
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) Remove all our PDU code and switch to the PDU code from the
klinker library
2) Switch to using the system Lollipop MMS library by default,
and falling back to our own custom library if that fails.
3) Format SMIL differently, using code from klinker instead of
what we've pieced together.
4) Pull per-carrier MMS media constraints from the XML config
files in the klinker library, instead of hardcoding it at 280kb.
Hopefully this is an improvement, but given that MMS is involved,
it will probably make things worse instead.
