Issue introduced in 758edd8a6a404efc44bc70568f703e08927b3680 (0.6.1)
The filter for the first sync was passed as the filter for later
syncs and vice-versa, which caused problems like redaction events never
arriving.
Send a pseudo-reply consisting of two messages: a `m.text` which is just
a reply with an empty body, then the file event itself.
This is a workaround to the restriction imposed by the Matrix API,
which prevents us from simply attaching a reply to a media event:

Simplify the code, make it more declarative, and improve the reliability
of sending typing notifications (notably when changing the used alias in
the middle of a message).
thumbnail() and download() were remaining.
Use a direct and carefully chosen MatrixClient's methods instead to
avoid problems mentioned in the previous commit 7502c1.
Causes problem if one of the candidate client is on a server that
doesn't federate (e.g. a local one). Move the `get_profile()` function
from Backend to MatrixClient.
rather than passing an entire filter dict for every single syncs.
This shortens the request URL and prevents troubles with some servers
that have an absurdly low max URL length (e.g. halogen.city).
Previously, member events in initial syncs (unless user had "hide member
events" and "hide profile events" set to false in their config) were
completely discarded with the help of a sync filter, instead of simply
being hidden like events loaded from room backfilling.
This was done due to the common case of rooms getting only
userconfig-ignored/hidden events on startup (especially with the
low number of initial events requested for lazy initial sync),
and thus having nothing to show as "last message" in
the room list (room delegate subtitles).
Other problems resulted from this, like missing join/leave events
when the config was set to hide profile events but not other
member events, and the "Members not synced" (#54) in encrypted room
with recent discarded member events.
The discarding filter is no longer used. Instead, if a room in the room
list has no visible "last message" and is currently visible to the user,
messages will be lazily fetched until we find something adequate or the
room goes out of view.
Contact the server's .well-known API before anything to get
available login flows instead of blindly assuming it will be
m.login.password, and to get the server's real URL instead of
requiring users to remember that e.g. it's "chat.privacytools.io"
and not just "privacytools.io" despite user IDs making it look like so.
The server field will also now remember the last accepted URL.
Compression with Pillow can take long, especially with large
clipboard PNG images.
Doing this in a separate process prevents the async event loop from
getting blocked, and allows multiple compression operations to run in
parallel.
It's possible to get a MatrixForbidden error when trying to retrieve a
offline room member's presence, if that member actually left the room
but the server hasn't yet sent the update.
This required us to set the media downloaded local path on events
entirely from python instead of simply lazy-fetching them when needed
from QML, due to pyotherside's async nature and files that must be open
in a certain order.
A healthy client must not only have a sync task running, but also have
finished its initial sync and have been succesful in its last sync
attempt.
The previous weak requirement caused this issue:
Have two clients, one on a failing server, and try to fetch a media,
thumbnail or profile: since these functions don't need auth, any
healthy client is picked to do the request, but the previous
requirement made it possible to pick the failing client.
The attributes by mistake used nio.AsyncClient.user instead of the
proper user_id. If the user logged in with a partial username instead of
typing their full ID, the can_ attributes (e.g. can_kick) would always
be False.
