even if the `_converse.bosh_session` instance does not exist.
We do this to avoid trying to reconnect with stale tokens upon
reconnection. Especially relevant for anonymous connections, but could
also be applicable when switching between websocket and BOSH connections
when reconnecting.
Also renamed `startNewBOSHSession` to `startNewPreboundBOSHSession`
It's unlikely that `keepalive` needs to be set to `false`, but there are
some edge cases where it might be useful.
Here's a breakdown of the different configurations of `keepalive` and `auto_join`:
---
* auto_login: false, keepalive: true
This is the default config. Users need to log in manually, but then
Converse will try to reconnect them when the page reloads.
* auto_login: true, keepalive: true
Also very popular configuration. Used with `credentials_url` or `prebind_url`.
* auto_login = `true`, keepalive = `false`
Not sure what this could be useful for. No currently known application.
* auto_login = `false`, keepalive = `false`
Useful when you want some kind of specific action to trigger login, but
you don't want to maintain that state across page reloads.
Also relevant when using a websocket connection with anonymous login.
With websocket it's impossible to maintain anonymous sessions across page
reload because the the session gets removed server-side as soon as the
websocket connection drops and the server won't accept a full JID with
password for an anonymous connection anyway (which could happen upon
page reload when Converse tries to login in again if `keepalive` was `true`).
triggering connectionInitialized.
That way, when listening for `connectionInitialized`, we'll know when it
fires whether we've attached to a BOSH connection or not.
If `auto_login` is false, we shouldn't log in, so we only try to log in when
it is true. Otherwise we still try to restore the BOSH session (if applicable).
- Split between `login` auth and the rest (`external`, `anonymous`, `prebind`)
- It doesn't make sense to pass along credentials when not using `login` auth so avoid that flow.
- It's not necessary to pass the `reconnecting` flag to `attemptNonPreboundSession`
Instead optimize in other ways.
Also:
- Don't fade in when `animate` is false.
- `trimChats` now gets called in `afterShown`.
- Add now event `beforeShowingChatView`
Includes some refactoring:
- Don't send an `active` chat state notification when entering a MUC
I can't think of a good reason why this might be necessary or desired.
- Move `setChatState` form the view to the model
- Remove unused method `handleChatStateNotification`
- Don't store `role` and `affiliation` for the current user on the
ChatRoom object, but instead on the ChatRoomOccupant object representing
the user.

I can't say that I understand why libsignal throws `Error: Invalid signature`
when you try to build a session for your own (sending) device, but given that
messages can only be decrypted once, I guess it isn't really necessary
to encrypt for your own device, since you already have the plaintext.
In addition I've added some error handling so that we can recover
gracefully when session building fails for a subset of devices.
In some cases, it might be desirable to clear cached chat messages once you've
reconnected to the XMPP server.
For example, if you want to prevent the chat history from getting too long or
if you want to avoid gaps in the chat history (for example due to MAM not
returning all messages since the last cached message).
If you're using OMEMO, then you probably don't want to set this setting to
``true``. OMEMO messages can be decrypted only once, so if they then
subsequently get cleared, you won't get the plaintext back.
