With the removal of RTTI such a cast can cause compile failures as not
all compilers automatically convert dynamic casts to static casts at
compile time.
Fixes#3801
Makes changes to settings application wide transparent. The properties section is optional in theory, but comes in very handy, if we decide to access settings e.g. from within a script context.
Before this new cut-off days is only shown when the load history, now added a feature which in the current chat checks the last post date and if the date does not coincide with current - output a system message about the new date.
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.
The qTox Project is not associated with the Tox Project in any way, with the
exception of "qTox" using the Tox Projet's "toxcore" collection of libraries.
In particular, the Tox Projet does not own copyright over the qTox Project's
"qTox" collection of software, source code, and assets.
The qTox Project's assets are under the sole copyright of the qTox
contributors, and no partiular rights are granted to the Tox Project.
Since consistency in code is most important, 'ToxId' is used
for code, whereas 'Tox ID' anywhere outside of code.
Also fixed wrong comments in core.h:
* qTox gets only public key of a grouchat peer, not their
Tox ID
* qTox tries to return full address (Tox ID) or public key

When hovering over the "attach file" button in the chat form, an
additional button for the screenshot functionality will 'fly out'
to the left, showing a computer monitor as icon. Leaving the attach
file or the take screenshot button will collapse the fly out again.
Bug: Moving the mouse over the fly out and then back again to the
attach button collapses the fly out. Will sort this out later.
Also used the opportunity to rename headers from hpp -> h extension
I added earlier.
I've moved the key bindings in the main widget instead of the chat form given it
doesn't seem to be the chat form's responsibility to handle switching between
conversations it shouldn't know about in the first place. I've also included new
shortcuts to provide a more familiar feel to most people.
All in all this provides Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab for cycling as well as
Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown for cycling. This mimics common application behaviour.
