Since there may be situations where we close and re-open the database,
we need to make sure transactions fail when the database is not open.
Make NdbTxn an init?() constructor and check for ndb.closed. If it's
closed, then fail transaction construction.
This fixes crashes during high database activity when switching from
background to foreground and vice-versa.
Fixes: da2bdad18d ("nostrdb: close database when backgrounded")
The code paths for generating zap notifications were very different from
the paths used by most other notifications. In this commit, I include
the logic and data structures necessary for formatting zap notifications
in the same fashion as local notifications.
A good amount of refactoring and moving functions/structures around was
necessary to reuse zap local notification logic. I also attempted to
make the notification generation process more consistent between zaps
and other notifications, without changing too much of existing logic to
avoid even more regression risk.
General push notifications + local notifications test
-----------------------------------------------------
PASS
Device: iPhone 15 Pro simulator
iOS: 17.0.1
Damus: This commit
Setup:
- Two phones running Damus on different accounts
- Local relay with strfry-push-notify test setup
- Apple push notification test tool
Coverage:
1. Mention notifications
2. DM notifications
3. Reaction notifications
4. Repost notifications
Steps for each notification type:
1. Trigger a notification (local and then push)
2. Ensure that the notification is received on the other device
3. Ensure that the notification is formatted correctly
4. Ensure that DMs are decrypted correctly
5. Ensure that profile names are unfurled correctly
6. Click on the notification and ensure that the app opens to the correct screen
Result: PASS (all notifications received and formatted correctly)
Notes:
- For some reason my relay is not receiving zap events, so I could not
test zap notifications yet.
- Reply notifications do not seem to be implemented yet
- These apply to the tests below as well

Testing
-------
Conditional pass
Device: iPhone 15 Pro simulator
iOS: 17.0.1
Damus: This commit
Coverage:
1. Mention notification works (local and push). PASS
2. Thread replies do not appear (but upon code inspection it seems like
it was not supported before). PASS?
3. DM notification works with decryption (local and push). PASS
4. Zaps not yet implemented. Coming later.

This commit adds support for the unfurling of author profile names on remote push notifications
It also makes the following changes:
- Notification extension now uses NdbNote
- Some of the logic between push notifications and local notifications was unified
Testing
-------
Device: iPhone 15 Pro simulator
iOS: 17.0.1
Damus: This commit
Coverage:
1. Basic smoke tests on the app by browsing different notes and different tabs
2. Sent test push notifications for mentions and DMs to check the unfurling of profile names
3. Ran unit tests

This change was made so that NostrDB data can be accessed from different build targets such as the notification service extension.
Upon initialization of NostrDB, it will check both DB file locations (the old documents directory, and the new shared app group container). If it sees the DB is present on the old location, and not on the new location, it will move the files to the new location. In any other condition it will keep the files intact to prevent data loss.
In order to avoid any conflicts between the damusApp's Ndb instance and the extension's Ndb instance when writing or moving the file, a new parameter called "owns_db_file" was added, and set to "false" for the extension. This ensures that the extension will not attempt to move DB files or create a new DB file on its own. Only the main app can move or create the DB file.
Testing
-------
PASS
Device: iPhone 15 Pro simulator
iOS: 17.0.1
Damus: This commit
Steps:
1. Run with the debugger attached to the extension target.
2. Using Apple's push notification testing dashboard, send a test push notification with a real payload (that includes the nostr event under `nostr_event`. Payload generated by strfry-push-notify).
3. Watch logs. It should show a message like "Got push notification from <DISPLAY_NAME>", where `DISPLAY_NAME` is the correct profile name of the user who generated the event. PASS
Regression testing
------------------
Device: iPhone 13 Mini (Real device)
iOS: 17.1.1
Damus: This commit
Other preconditions:
- Damus is at 1.6 (29) at the start of the test
- NostrDB filled with real data on the old location
Steps:
1. Flash (upgrade) the new Damus version (this commit) (This will be the first time upgrading, shared file container is empty)
2. Try to use the app normally. Scroll and navigate to several locations. Interact with some notes. App should be stable, work, and appear to have profile names already (i.e. It shouldn't start with a bunch of npubs in the place of profile names on known contacts). PASS
3. Downgrade back to the App store version (v1.6 (29))
4. Try to use the app normally. Scroll and navigate, interact, etc. App should work and be stable, but profile name cache is expected to be lost (i.e. shows npubs for a bit until profile is reloaded into NostrDB). PASS
5. Upgrade app again to the version in this commit.
6. Repeat step 2. Everything should work as normal and all profiles should be preloaded from the start. PASS

I added support for the experimental push notifications feature. There are many improvements to be made, so this feature is currently opt-in only. If the user does not opt-in, their device tokens will not be sent out and thus they will receive no push notifications.
We should perform more testing on real-life staging environments before fully releasing this feature.
Testing
-------
Testing was done gradually during development.
Device: iOS simulators
iOS: 17
Damus version: A few different but recent prototypes
Rough coverage:
1. Checked that no device tokens are sent out when setting is off
2. Checked that I can successfully receive device tokens when feature is ON and set to localhost.
3. Checked sending test push notifications of types "note" (kind: 1), reaction (kind: 7) and DMs (kind 4) works and shows a generic but reasonable push notification message
4. Checked that clicking on the notifications above take the user to the correct screen
