qTox will automatically import the old history on startup.
This new database code is much more robust.
It is very resilient and will not corrupt or disappear after a crash or
power failure, unlike the old code.
The on-disk database format is also much more compact now.
The database sync option in the advanced settings has been removed,
we know run many database operations asynchronously so performance
should not be a problem anymore, but we always ensure resiliency
in case of abrupt termination, so there is no tradeoff anymore.
We now use a binary serialized format to save space and allow clean encryption of the user settings.
All the settings can (and should) be edited from the GUI so there is no loss of functionnality.
It can still read the old .ini format, and will seamlessly upgrade to the new format.
