Push notifications

[jb55]

This is a tracking issue to get push notifications out the door

• Push Notifications: Device token authentication NIP-98 #1701 (Nice to have, but we already have code we can reuse for this from Damus Purple)
• Push notifications: prevent duplication between remote push notifications and local notifications #1704 (Absolutely necessary)
• Setup push notification relay #1733 (Absolutely necessary)
• Implement server-side public mute-list filtering for push notifications #2200 (New one that I added, which will be necessary to execute this new plan)
• Push notifications: Handle logout/login #1707 (We should at least test to see if current behaviour is acceptable)
• Push notifications: Update privacy policy #1706 (Probably needed, but I am not a legal expert to know for sure)

Do we have an issue for tracking the apple permissions?

@jb55 cc @danieldaquino meta-comment on issue of issues tracking: I re-arranged the issues to having the pre-requisite/mandatory tickets at the top, and the nice-to-haves and/or uncertain tickets towards the bottom. If yall agree we can carry forward this practice for issues of issues.

We can also carry forward this practice for milestones - most important issues at top, least at bottom.

For this particular plan, none. Here is an excerpt of an email containing relevant context:

(...) we might be able to roll it out whether or not we have the Push notification filtering entitlement.

Will mentioned that we do not yet have support for encrypted mute lists (we don’t create them, and we do not parse them either).

Since we do not have support for that yet (Most mute lists on Damus are presumably public), we can perform mute filtering on the server-side based on those public lists (without worsening user’s privacy). If we do that, then having the entitlement does not make a difference until we have encrypted mute lists.

Given that state of affairs, Will mentioned it will be worth rolling out that feature regardless of whether we get the entitlement or not.

Love it, 100% agree we should use that convention
