Places! Yeah, Places...

The general idea is to be like a rusty desktop Places.

So, instead of:

let visits = [{date: ..., transitition: ...}];
let place = {url: "http...", title: ..., visits};
PlacesUtils.history.insert(place);

It's more:

let visits = vec![Visit { date, transition: ...} ];
let place = Place { url, title: ..., visits };
places::api::history::insert(db, place);

The short-term goal is to demonstrate a "port" of:

1. PlacesUtils.history.insert(...);
2. UnifiedComplete.something("example.co") -> auto-complete result.

However, it's very incomplete - schema is a poor copy/paste of desktop, no temp tables, no triggers, no...

Notes about desktop's implementation of the above:

• seems to prefer a guid over a url - however, this appears completely unused except by code supporting sync - the logical API for real consumers is via a URL, so we largely ignore GUIDs for now.

specifically, the following "scratchpad" code:

let referrer = null;
let transition = PlacesUtils.history.TRANSITION_LINK;
let date = new Date();
let pageInfo = {
  title: "Title",
  visits: [
    {transition, referrer, date },
  ],
   url: "https://example.com",
 };
 let result = await PlacesUtils.history.insert(pageInfo);

Ends up in History::UpdatePlaces() with the following visitData:

visitData =
    placeId 0   __int64
    guid ""
    visitId 0   __int64
    spec   "{url}
    revHost {value}
    hidden  false   bool
    shouldUpdateHidden  true    bool
    typed   false   bool
    transitionType  1   unsigned int
    visitTime   1537270492849000    __int64
    frecency    -1  int
    lastVisitId 0   __int64
    lastVisitTime   0   __int64
    visitCount  0   unsigned int
    title   {title}   nsTString<char16_t>
    referrerSpec   ""
    referrerVisitId 0   __int64
    titleChanged    false   bool
    shouldUpdateFrecency    true    bool
    useFrecencyRedirectBonus    false   bool

ends up calling FetchPageInfo() - takes visitdata and updates it - desktop updates visitData in-place - rust probably wants different structs for each operation

then: updates .typed, .hidden, hacks to avoid "maybe unhide"?

then: DoDatabaseInserts():

if not new: updatePlace() else: insertPlace()
addVisit()
if autocomplete: UpdateFrecency()
