This adds a new copy:deps task into the overall default task, and it
needs to be run before running the product for the first time, and after
upgrading audio-related deps.
FREEBIE
This removes our custom notification sound in favor of the system sound, and
ensures that the system sound is disabled if the user unchecks the audio
notification option.

* main.js: check for truthiness of mainwindow, not === null
FREEBIE
* background.js: Connect to websocket even if we are unlinked
We know registration isn't done, but it has been done before. So instead
of sitting tight, we connect to the socket to start everything up and
attempt to the websocket once more.
FREEBIE
* Add certificate pinning on https service requests
Make https requests to the server using node apis instead of browser apis, so we
can specify our own CA list, which contains only our own CA.
This protects us from MITM by a rogue CA.
As a bonus, this let's us drop the use of non-standard ports and just use good
ol' default 443 all the time, at least for http requests.
// FREEBIE
* Make certificateAuthorities an option on requests
Modify node-based xhr implementation based on driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest,
adding support for setting certificate authorities on each request.
This allows us to pin our master CA for requests to the server and cdn but not
to the s3 attachment server, for instance. Also fix an exception when sending
binary data in a request: it is submitted as an array buffer, and must be
converted to a node Buffer since we are now using a node based request api.
// FREEBIE
* Import node-based xhr implementation
Add a copy of https://github.com/driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest@86ff70e, and
expose it to the renderer in the preload script.
In later commits this module will be extended to support custom certificate
authorities.
// FREEBIE
* Support "arraybuffer" responseType on requests
When fetching attachments, we want the result as binary data rather than a utf8
string. This lets our node-based XMLHttpRequest honor the responseType property
if it is set on the xhr.
Note that naively using the raw `.buffer` from a node Buffer won't work, since
it is a reuseable backing buffer that is often much larger than the actual
content defined by the Buffer's offset and length.
Instead, we'll prepare a return buffer based on the response's content length
header, and incrementally write chunks of data into it as they arrive.
// FREEBIE
* Switch to self-signed server endpoint
* Log more error info on failed requests
With the node-based xhr, relevant error info are stored in statusText and
responseText when a request fails.
// FREEBIE
* Add node-based websocket w/ support for custom CA
// FREEBIE
* Support handling array buffers instead of blobs
Our node-based websocket calls onmessage with an arraybuffer instead of a blob.
For robustness (on the off chance we switch or update the socket implementation
agian) I've kept the machinery for converting blobs to array buffers.
// FREEBIE
* Destroy all wacky server ports
// FREEBIE
If the 'empty' event is fired between the updateInbox() call and the
new InboxView() call afterwards, then the loading screen will never go
away. We fix that by immediately creating the InboxView but only adding
it to the DOM when the backing data is ready.
FREEBIE
Just send an event from the main process to the renderer,
The latter routes it the appropriate view method.
For now it's a no-op unless the main window exists and it is showing the inbox,
which will be addressed in a future commit.
// FREEBIE
Change the placeholder content for when notifications are configured for
count-only or sender-only. Remove some options that are no longer
supported.
// FREEBIE
Since we no longer have support for list-style notifications, stop
coalescing notifications into batches and just show contents of the last
message received. Also open the window when clicking on a notification
if it has previously been closed.
// FREEBIE
All Whisper.events listeners are now defined and bound in background.js,
and we no longer need global methods for opening the inbox and
conversation views, as those are handled by AppView or internally by
InboxView.
// FREEBIE
Add buttons for switching between the linking flow and the standalone
registration flow. The button and standalone registration are only
availble in a development environment.
