Move the functionality to cache the contents of a chat bar from the room directly and to a new ChatCache object. This works pretty much the same with a few extra check and balances, this also made it easy to put a test suite around the functionality so I did. The current functionality should be identical to what exists.
This is in prep for threads which will require managing even more caches if we create one per thread.
Improve the handling of text both when sending and receiving.
The main feature is to fix the linked bug (and a host of others that are unreported but similar) which is caused by the fact that we don't properly clean html. This mr does that as per the matrix spec https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/client-server-api/#mroommessage-msgtypes. So any disallowed tags or attributes are removed and it does the special handling for certain attributes.
Additionally the functions are also designed to cover any other text formatting required, particularly fro received strings.
The receive side is covered by 2 functions `handleRecieveRichText` and `handleRecievePlainText`. The rich/plain in the function name refers to the output type not the input type (both can take plain and rich input), so `handleRecieveRichText` is called to get a string suitable to go in a rich text control and `handleRecievePlainText` for a plain control.
The functions also handle the following some of which was previously handled by `eventToString` in `NeoChatRoom`:
- Strip and reply from the string
- Format any user mentions
- Linkify links in plain strings
- Handle mxc urls in rich text (uses the new `room->makeMediaUrl` functionality from libQuotient)
- `handleRecievePlainText` also deals with markup making `NeoChatRoom->subtitle` redundant
There is also an extensive test suite which defines the behaviour and the best way to review this is probably to look at the tests and decide whether you agree with the expected output given the inputs and/or if there is any missing behaviour.
The final aim especially with the test suite is to give us a framework to make further updates in the future easier and hopefully prevent a new feature breaking old behaviour with the tests.

This is the start of a significant refactoring of everything related to sending messages, which is roughly:
- the chatbox
- action handling
- message sending on the c++ side
- autocompletion of users/rooms/emojis/commands/things i forgot
Notable changes so far include:
- ChatBox is now a ColumnLayout. As part of this, i removed the height animations for now. <del>as far as i can tell, they were broken anyway.</del> I'll readd them later
- Actions were refactored to live outside of the message sending function and are now each an object; it's mostly a wrapper around a function that is executed when the action is invoked
- Everything that used to live in ChatBoxHelper is now in NeoChatRoom; that means that the exact input status (text, message being replied to, message being edited, attachment) is now saved between room switching).
- To edit/reply an event, set `NeoChatRoom::chatBox{edit,reply}Id` to the desired event id, `NeoChatRoom::chatBox{reply,edit}{User,Message}` will then be updated automatically
- Attachments behave equivalently with `NeoChatRoom::chatBoxAttachmentPath`
- Error message reporting from ActionsHandler has been fixed (same fix as in !517) and moved to NeoChatRoom
Broken at the moment:
- [x] Any kind of autocompletion
- [x] Mentions
- [x] Fancy effects
- [x] sed-style edits
- [x] last-user-message edits and replies
- [x] Some of the actions, probably
- [x] Replies from notifications
- [x] Lots of keyboard shortcuts
- [x] Custom emojis
- [x] ChatBox height animations
TODO:
- [x] User / room mentions based on QTextCursors instead of the hack we currently use
- [x] Refactor autocompletion stuff
- [x] ???
- [x] Profit
* Message with multiple mentions are not broken in IRC. Fix#267
* Editing a message won't remove mentions anymore
(cherry picked from commit bb3b3bc088)
Now it will save a map from display name to id and use that to generate
clean matrix.to links. This also make sure the colors used for the
preview are correct by using NeoChatUser and fix the bug with the regex
by simply removing the regex.
Fix#234
