Previous code would remove image attachments from the compose editor if
there was a problem uploading or updating them.
This caused a particular problem with image captions. You could attach a
valid image, then write a caption that was too long for the server. The
server would reject the status, and the status was saved to drafts.
Then you open the draft, which tries to upload the image again with a
too-long caption. The upload is rejected, and the image, along with the
caption, is removed.
Fix this.
- Change `QueuedMedia` to track the upload state as a `Result<_,_>`, so
any error messages are preserved and available to the UI.
- The different `Ok` types for the upload state contain the upload
progress percentage (if appropriate) or the server's ID for the uploaded
media.
- Change `ProgressImageView` to accept the upload state `Result`. If the
result is an error the image is drawn with a red overlay and white
"error" icon.
- If an upload is in an error state allow the user to click on it. That
shows a dialog explaining the error, and provides options to edit the
image, change the caption, etc.
- When changing the caption make the API call to change it on the server
(if the attachment has been uploaded). This makes the user aware of any
errors sooner in the process, so they can correct them.

Some users report that returning to the `ComposeActivity` loses content
they've entered and returns to `MainActivity`. I can't reproduce this,
but it's possible that Android is clearing the task state and returning
to the root activity (`MainActivity` in this case).
Set `alwaysRetainTaskState` to true to keep the activity stack, and
hopefully prevent this from happening.

Previous layout didn't enable the character counter for entered text, so
it was difficult for the user to see how much they had used.
Fix that. To get the layout to play nicely switch to a ConstraintLayout
with a chain to split the dialog roughly 50/50 between the image and the
caption views.
While I'm here:
- Remove the margins around the image, so it's clearer, and is more
consistent with the "set focus" dialog.
- Set focus on the description immediately, so the keyboard pops up.
- Remove focusability from the image, since the user shouldn't be able
to interact with it.
Previous code passed the actionable status, so "Open boost author"
actually opened the account that posted the original status.
Pass the status representing the boost, so the correct account is
opened.

Users report that copying items can be difficult using Talkback.
Make this easier in the dialogs that appear for links, mentions, and
hashtags by using a dedicated adapter that displays a "Copy" button at
the end of each item.
Fixes#1038
Previous code checked the item was a `StatusViewData`, which is not true
for notifications, and meant the links, mentions, and hashtags
accessibility features were not available.
Change this to `IStatusViewData`, which notifications do implement.
Fixes#1037
Previous code only inflated the timeline fragment menu if swipe/refresh
was enabled -- a hold over from when "Refresh" was the only menu item.
There are other menu items now, and they were also hidden. Fix this by
always inflating the menu.
Provide two new lab preferences for controlling the layout and content
of main navigation tabs.
Tabs can now be justfied to start, end, or fully (if room). Start/end
justification may put the tabs closer to the user's fingers, depending
on how they hold the device. Fully justified uses the full width of the
tab bar (if the tabs don't require scrolling).
The content can be set to one of:
- Icon only (previous behaviour)
- Text only
- Icon with text beside
- Icon with text below
Fixes#336
Previous code didn't send the language to ComposeActivity when editing a
scheduled status so it always appeared to be dirty. This prompted the
user to save/discard changes when backing out, even if they hadn't made
any changes.
Fix this by collecting the language code when fetching scheduled posts
and passing it in `ComposeOptions`.
Previous code accepted the `scheduledAt` value as a String, and kept it
as a String (including when serialising as part of a draft). Then it was
converted to an actual Date for display.
Refactor to keep it as a Date for as long as possible. Moshi decodes
Dates correctly over the network, and the database is configured to
serialise Dates as Longs.
This necessitates two migration steps to preserve any existing
`scheduledAt` values for drafts. The first step adds a new column to
store the date as a Long and copies over existing data. The second step
replaces the old column with the new column.
For some users this feature has too many false positives, particularly
when emojis are used.
Provide a preference that enables/disables the feature, default to
"enable".
When the user is prompted the dialog has a third "Don't ask again"
option. If chosen the preference is set to prevent future prompts and
the status is sent as-is.

GoToSocial servers don't support scheduled posts; they return the wrong
type, and this can cause a loop of posting.
The GoToSocial bug to implement scheduled posts is
https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/1006.
Fix this by adding a new server capability for scheduled post support,
using it for most servers, and disabling it for GoToSocial.
If scheduled post support is not available for an account:
- The "Scheduled posts" menu option is not shown.
- The scheduling button (clock) when composing a post is hidden, so the
user cannot set scheduling parameters.

The MaterialTimePicker library has a bug that results in the "Cancel"
and "Ok" buttons on the dialog being cut off.
See
https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues/3584
Work around this by updating their layout params and explicitly setting
the "bottomToBottom" constraint to their parent.
This wasn't acting as a preference.
It presented as a switch. If the user toggled it some notification
settings were changed for all accounts.
It wasn't clear what was changed, and if the user changed some of those
settings back the switch position did not change (it couldn't, you
couldn't meaningfully represent a partial change using a single switch).
Since the user has full control over the notification filters on a
per-account basis remove this "preference" to reduce confusion.
