## Summary
This patch adds an interface to return only a specified window of messages, making loading the conversations history smooth, fast, and enjoyable.
The current implementation of the conversation interface loads all messages every time the conversation is requested. This is might be painfully slow to load in case the conversation is large or if there are a lot of MMS/RCS messages in the conversation (since those are wildly slower to load than SMS)
Requires https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-android/merge_requests/122 to enable Android functionality
## Test Plan
- With new Android app and old Desktop app:
- The Android app will notice the missing fields and query for all messages as before.
- With old Android app and new Desktop app:
- The desktop will send fields for the new interface which will not be read and all messages will be returned.
- With new Android app and new Desktop app:
- The new interface is used and returns only a certain number of messages at a time.
While mostly theoretical it makes for a more expressive API since it communicates that it is a list instead of a single value. It also allows to get rid of some conversion code.
This is also preparation work for potentially using the custom type capabilities that QtDBus offers.
## Summary
Start a conversation with contacts having no previous conversation with.
It is currently only possible to use the messaging app to send a message to a conversation which already exists.
This patch implements this feature by integrating all contacts having no prior conversation with the recent conversations in the recent conversation list and at the bottom in a sorted manner, something like this,
The contacts are stored in the recent conversation list model as a conversation but with INVALID conversation ID and INVALID conversation DATE.
## Testing
Testing just needs kdeconnect daemon to be recompiled and executed.
This may need to be reworked at some point for more advanced usecases (multiple apps listening to SMS, variable-length message requests, etc.) but it's fine for now
BUG 410095
## Summary
Upgrade the SMS App to handle multitarget addresses in the "addresses" field of a message and drop usage of the "address" field
Also note that this has all the commits from https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-kde/merge_requests/97, but I will rebase those away once that patch is landed
Bonus: Image composition for multitarget conversations
## Test Plan
- Apply Android-side patch https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdeconnect-android/merge_requests/80
- Launch SMS App
- Notice that you can see all the recipients of multitarget messages. (Replying still not supported, but might get implemented as part of fixing replying to single-target messages)
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

Summary:
When a new message is delivered, the conversation list should update by changing the preview text and re-sorting the conversations
Bonus bug discovered and fixed: previously, when the conversations list was being populated, it made a request for the first message in every conversation. This would be fine if the conversationdbusinterface pulled from local cache. However, this actually triggers a request to the phone for *every* conversation.
This should be handled differently in conversationdbusinterface's requestConversation as well, but that's a project for a later day (TODO comments added)
Test Plan:
- Launch SMS app
- Verify conversations list appears
- Verify lack of massive stream of debug output indicating lots of messages for the wrong conversation are being received
- Verify that opening a particular conversation shows the messages after a short delay while the backend fetches the content from the phone
- Verify that receiving a new message into an existing conversation updates the conversation list

Summary: Braces to start a method are on a newline, braces to begin an in-method block are on the same line
Test Plan: Pure source code cosmetic changes. Hopefully no functionality has changed!

Summary:
Update sms app model to use new conversationUpdated signal
Filter incoming messages which belong to a different conversation than the one currently being viewed
See Android-side diff D15360 which adds support for sending live updates when a new message is sent or received
Test Plan:
This patch relies on D15360 for Android-side support
- Positive case:
- Open a conversation in the SMS app
- Receive a new message into that conversation (text yourself?)
- Verify that the new message appears at the bottom of the appropriate conversation
- Negative case:
- Open a conversation in the SMS app
- Receive a new message into a different conversation (text yourself?)
- Verify that the new message does *not* appear in the open conversation

Summary:
Telephony and SMS handling are quite distinct so they should be in separate plugins for better maintainability, given that @sredman has big plans with SMS.
This diff should be fully backwards compatible, but whether we really want to do that is up to discussion
Test Plan: Only supeficially tested. Receive an SMS (old way), Notification is shown
