We were previously assuming that we always want to parent these menus to
RoomPage, but that only exists on the main window. If you tried to open
the menu for say - the search window - then it would confusingly still
open on the main menu.
Thankfully the way to fix this is simple, by passing a parent QtObject
around.
These are more common than we thought, good examples are pinned or
searched messages - which are not going to be in the room's history
unless you happen to have them loaded. But currently our message menu
infrastructure expects them to be, since its looked up by the room +
event ID.
To fix this is simple, we now move the job of finding the event to the
caller which may use a model instead. I didn't fix all existing
call-sites yet, mainly the message menu opening one since that was the
most obvious bug. But this opens up the door for other assumptions about
room history to be fixed too.
I had to do a bit of C++ re-jiggering in order to expose useful
functions to QML.
It isn't the right kind of interaction on a computer with a mouse or
trackpad, it should be relegated to touchscreen only. This should
hopefully cover everything from room list delegates to messages.
The intention is that NeochatRoomMember can be created passed to QML and then be fully managed by it. It effectively just grabs the current RoomMember, calls the correct function then discards it so that we don't end up trying to access an already deleted state event.
There are 2 main reason for doing this:
1. Because I can, I wanted to see if I could do it
2. It gets rid of the janky qml re parenting stuff so should be faster.
