Fixes an issue where qtox refused to load profiles while using
the -p switch on the command line. This happened in cases where
there was no .ini file for the specified profile present.
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.
And make it saner by not having one global password that has to be set before encrypting/decrypting, which is as racy and poorly designed as it gets
Fixes#1917 's immediate symtoms, which some potential for other regressions due to the mess that is encrypted persistence currently
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.
Fixes#1810
