Unfortunately this doesn't work on Firefox and there's no proper
workaround. https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs/issues/108

Revert "Use flexbox to keep the chat scrolled down"
This reverts commit dd91d3cc55.
By using `display: flex` and `flex-direction: column-reverse`, the chat
now automatically scrolls down when loaded, without requiring any
extra JavaScript.
We still need to scroll down with JavaScript when sending a message.
By using `column-reverse`, the messages container now works in reverse.
So the newest message is the first element in the container and the
oldest message is the last. This is the reverse of before.
Due to this, this change will likely break some plugins.
* Checkmark and edit modal button are now on the right
* Instead of showing checkmarks for MUC messages,
we now show them as light grey before MUC reflection
* Simplify message markup by requiring less `if` statements
Since recently these tests have been failing consistently on Travis,
even though they're passing locally.
Ran out of time debugging the issue, so disabling some stuff for now.
- Use native `getTime` method instead of moment's `valueOf`
- Use toISOString() instead of moment().format()
This makes the code timezone independent since we're now globally using UTC.
- Let box_id start with char for valid HTML.
- No need to use SHA1 for box id
- No need for the user_id attribute.
- Set nickname when we set the roster contact.
Also...
- _converse.api.contacts.get is now async
- _converse.api.chats.create is now async
Set reference to roster contact on the message and chatbox object and
listen for changes to the nickname.
Currently, because chat boxes are fetched and initialized before the
roster, messages and chats are repainted with the correct display name
only later, causing a "flash" effect.
Ideally we would only initialize the chat boxes after the roster
contacts have been fetched, but this is currently not easily possible
because we need the control box to render before everything else.
Until now, we've only been explicitly documenting the `_converse.api`
namespace and only considered the methods under it as forming the API
contract (which determines how we do semver releases).
It appears as if we've reached a point where trying to keep everything
under the `_converse.api` namespace no longer makes sense. Certain
methods are applicable to particular models and trying to shoehorn them
into the `_converse.api` namespace seems clunky and non-intuitive.
I've therefore decided to slightly refactor `sendMessage` to let it take
two simple parameters and to document it with JSDoc so that it's
presented as an API method, albeit only available on a chat model.
