Summary: This patch fixes T10184 and stops the SMS app from crashing when a conversation is selected but no devices are connected. It also allows the SMS app to access the cached messages in the ConversationsDbusInterface so the app is still slightly useful even when the device is disconnected.
Test Plan:
- Open sms app
- Open a few conversations
- Disconnect phone (Force close app?)
- Re-open a conversation which was previously opened
- Verify that the messages appear. It is possible to scroll up to view any older cached messages too!
- Open a conversation which was not opened previously
- Verify that a single messages is shown (since this was the only one in cache, from populating the list of all conversations)
- Verify that attempting to scroll this conversation does nothing, but also does not crash the app
Note: Opening the app with no phone connected will cause it to lose its handle on the deviceId, so it can't spawn a new Dbus interface, so it will remain blank and empty. Solving that is a project for another day.

Previously, we would have a thread which was never woken. Now we wake the thread and it does its thing, even though we were not able to do anything about its request
Resolves https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400488
Summary:
The most serious change from this patch is to move the asynchronous replying to a request from the app for more messages to a newly-spawned, self-destructing thread. Within that thread, we block until the remote device replies with the requested messages.
All gotten messages are cached in the ConversationDbusInterface, so all future requests are fast and don't hit the remote device.
Test Plan: After applying this diff, the messaging app should show 10 messages every time it is opened
