the PR before merging.

## Reviews
Currently `reviewable.io` is being used to review changes that land in qTox.
How to review:
1. Click on the `Reviewable` button in pull request.
2. Once Reviewable opens, comment on the lines that need changes.
3. Mark as reviewed only those files that don't require any changes this
makes it easier to see which files need to be changed & reviewed again once
change is made.
4. If pull request is good to be merged, press `LGTM` button in Reviewable.
5. Once you're done with evaluating PR, press `Publish` to make comments
visible on GitHub.
Note:
* when no one is assigned to the PR, *anyone* can review it
* when there are assigned people, only they can mark review as passed
