• Refactored the JobRunner • Refactored the JobQueue • Refactored the FailedAttachmentDownloadsJob to be async/await • Refactored the FailedMessageSendsJob to be async/await • Removed the `uniqueHashValue` from `Job` (make the `shouldBeUnique` behaviour part of the `DisplayPictureDownloadJob` instead)

• Updated `waitUntilInitialised` to have fallback support for iOS 15 • Updated the JobExecutor to allow individual jobs to control their concurrent execution behaviour • Fixed some race conditions in the JobRunner • Fixed some issues with concurrent job running • Fixed some issues where jobs would initialise a Noop version of libSession which could break the users state during this app run
• Updated the code to set the `JobPriorityContext` when entering/leaving a conversation • Updated the MessageReceiveJob to split failed messages into a separate job (keeps the behaviours and logs more consistent) • Updated the Onboarding code to use async/await instead of publishers • Updated the BackgroundPoller to handle the async/await Poller changes • Fixed a couple of issues with the file download sorting • Fixed an issue when setting the file sort data retriever • Fixed an issue where "initial job dependencies" provided when adding a job to the job runner weren't saved to the database • Fixed a few issues where jobs could fail or behave strangely on startup because they were racing initial data loading • Fixed an issue where the home and conversation screens would try to trigger layouts while the app was doing background fetches
• Added a timeout to the background message sending logic
• Updated the logic to allow starting specific job variants during the background period (so dependant jobs work)
• Updated the job filtering logic to allow OR based filters within a category (eg. select jobs where "RUNNING" AND ("messageSend" OR "attachmentUpload")

• Made some optimisations to the logging logic • Updated a bunch of group update functions to be async/await • Updated code to use `decodedMessage.sender` everywhere instead of `message.sender` (where available) • Fixed an issue where we would pointlessly try to mutate the contacts config when updating the current users profile info • Fixed an issue where onboarding could fail to save the user to the database due to a query trying to update a non-existent config
• Cleaned up some logic and updated some database actions to be bulk actions • Fixed an issue where a long running blocking startup job could lockup the JobRunner preventing any calls to it from returning • Fixed an issue where jobs being added with initial dependencies could incorrectly be started before the dependencies we added • Fixed a painful race condition which could cause odd job running behaviours with dependencies due to async loop logic • Fixed a race condition where a "ghost" dependency could be added to a job if it was removed while being read from the database
…it wasn't removed
• Fixed an issue where the home and conversation screens wouldn't update if a system prompt was visible • Fixed an issue where receiving a new conversation may not update the home screen under some circumstances
