So they can immediately fetch your profile.
Note, we're going to put this behind a feature flag for initial release
since iOS prints an empty bubble when receiving a message like this.

We were opening a write transaction before our sync extensions were
registered. This seems to have caused our views to rebuild themselves
once they did register, which in turn can cause device timeout.
Instead of opening transcations in `init`, we only build the
localProfile once it's needed.
A future PR will ensure transactions
aren't being created before syncViews are registered.

* Auto-add new contact threads to profile whitelist when local user sends first message to that thread.
* Ensure dynamic interactions have a non-negative timestamp even if the conversation was empty.
* Only call updateMessageMappingRangeOptions _after_ beginLongLivedReadTransaction and updating messageMappings.
* Improve documentation around how to avoid corrupt mappings in conversation view.
* Fix edge cases around large initial range sizes.
* Always treat dynamic interactions as read.
* Rebuild the “unseen” database views to remove dynamic interactions (see above).

Crypto Scheme:
- Name (un)padding
- WIP AES-GCM (funtioning, but need to verify against android
implementation, and tag functionality)
Changes to avatar API:
- hard code avatar domain (cdn.signal.org)
- avatar form hands out new avatar key, invalidating old avatar
- preliminary aes-gcm integration
Also:
- New type to represent AES128 keys, rather than passing around opaque
data blobs everywhere, we can use the compiler to help us make sure
we're passing compliant keying material.
- Started using factory pattern for API requests. This is intended to be
a lighter weight way to implement new API requests, rather than the
current 1-method class ceremony.

For ease of CDN cache expiry, each new avatar will have a unique URL, so
no need for a separate digest. Contents of file at URL will be verified
by forthcoming crypto scheme.
