There are multiple places in the codebase we present a conversation.
We used to have some very conservative machinery around how this was done, for
fear of failing to present the call view controller, which would have left a
hidden call in the background. We've since addressed that concern more
thoroughly via the separate calling UIWindow.
As such, the remaining presentation machinery is overly complex and inflexible
for what we need.
Sometimes we want to animate-push the conversation. (tap on home, tap on "send message" in contact card/group members)
Sometimes we want to dismiss a modal, to reveal the conversation behind it (contact picker, group creation)
Sometimes we want to present the conversation with no animation (becoming active from a notification)
We also want to ensure that we're never pushing more than one conversation view
controller, which was previously a problem since we were "pushing" a newly
constructed VC in response to these myriad actions. It turned out there were
certain code paths that caused multiple actions to be fired in rapid succession
which pushed multiple ConversationVC's.
The built-in method: `setViewControllers:animated` easily ensures we only have
one ConversationVC on the stack, while being composable enough to faciliate the
various more efficient animations we desire.
The only thing lost with the complex methods is that the naive
`presentViewController:` can fail, e.g. if another view is already presented.
E.g. if an alert appears *just* before the user taps compose, the contact
picker will fail to present.
Since we no longer depend on this for presenting the CallViewController, this
isn't catostrophic, and in fact, arguable preferable, since we want the user to
read and dismiss any alert explicitly.

Though it should be fine, reloading the callUIAdapter is a bit heavy
handed. And the current implementation is prone to being broken, since
we sometimes forget not to treat callUIAdapter as a singleton.
Longer term we can find a way to either: make callUIAdapter a true
singleton or possibly make callUIAdapter a private member of something
which *is* a true singleton.
Since we only *need* it to be reloaded the one time the migration runs
(or when a user changes settings which should be rare) it makes sense to
remove it from the happy path.

We've long allowed users to configure what shows up in message
notifications:
- name: content (by default)
- just name (no content)
- generic notification (no name nor content)
Now we're dual purposing that setting to apply to calls. If someone
doesn't want to show names in the message notifications, presumably also
don't want that name showing up in the call log.
Also, since the earlier CallKit/iCloud issues had been addressed before
iOS11, we upgrade all iOS11 users to the more intuitive CallKit
interface.
Also: introduce "use system call logs" toggle when available. It will be
enabled by default, but we disable it for legacy users who'd explicitly
opted *out* of CallKit.
