#398 feat(menu): build recent conversations from Messenger's database

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: kristofferR

The Dock, tray and jump-list recent-conversations menus were built by scraping chat rows, and only trusted while the list was scrolled to the top. Scrolling, filters or a list that hadn't rendered yet left the menu stale.

Read the most recent threads from Messenger's local database instead, ordered by last activity. Stacked on [#376], whose database helper moves to lib/messenger-db.ts so both features share it.

• Only conversations in Messenger's inbox are listed: no archived chats, message requests or spam. Encrypted chats are kept, even though their rows are always marked hidden. If too few of the newest rows qualify, the read goes further back.
• Names come from the database: the group's own name, or the other person (or their nickname, if the nickname setting shows it), or the other members' first names for an unnamed group. If a thread has no name there, the name from its rendered row is used, or the thread is left out.
• When the database or its modules are missing, or the read takes longer than 2 s, it falls back to the old row scraping.
• Privacy: with Hide Names on, the database isn't read and the menu stays empty. After logout or an account change, including one during a read, the menu clears straight away.
