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

Revert "Bugfix. Properly insert error messages and spinner"
This reverts commit 6a419cc145.
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.
Up and down arrows only serve as message correction shortcuts if the
textarea is empty.
This means that:
- Up arrow doesn't start correction of previous message if we're currently writing a message
- Down arrow doesn't erase currently written message
This is based on user-feedback and is also how Slack handles these
shortcuts.
- 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
This changes the API method's current behavior by not automatically
maximizing (in `overlayed` view mode) or bringing a background chat into
foreground (in `fullscreen` view mode). Instead `force` needs to be set
to `true` for that to happen.
