Continue to copy the previous values for expanded, etc, although this will only cover the PAGE_SIZE of statuses that are inserted.
Persist status viewdata as a separate StatusViewDataEntity, and join this with each status when building from the cached timeline. This allows the user's viewdata choices to persist after the cached timeline is cleared during a refresh operation. Add a repository method to save the status viewdata, and call that from the viewmodel instead of per-viewdata item methods.
- Periodically prune the StatusViewDataEntity table - Remove the data when an account is logged out

The previous code did not handle refreshing correctly; it retained some
of the cache, and tried merge new statuses in to the cache. This does
not work, and resulted in the app creating gaps in the timeline if more
than a page's worth of statuses had appeared since the user last
refreshed (e.g., overnight).
Fix this by treating the on-device cache as disposable, as the Paging3
library intends. On refresh the cached timeline is emptied and replaced
with a fresh page.
This causes a problem for state that is not stored on the server but is
part of a status' viewdata (has the user toggled viewing a piece of
media, expanded a CW, etc).
The previous code tried to work around that by pulling the state out of
the page cache and copying it in to the new statuses. That won't work
when the page cache is being destroyed.
So do it properly -- store the viewdata state in a separate (sparse)
table that contains only rows for statuses that have a non-default
state.
Save changes to the state when the user interacts with a status, and
use the state to ensure that the viewdata for a status in a thread
matches the viewdata for the same status if it is shown on the home
timeline (and vice-versa).
