This pull request add UnifiedPush support to Molly. (Issue #88)
There will still be some changes and some elements are still missing, but it can now start to be reviewed and tested.

It depends on non-free Google Play Services for push notifications, which puts you into a requirement to use an unmodified Google Android, which is potentially dangerous for a privacy app like this.

an interesting oddity: on my non-rooted xperia, signal thinks that i don’t have play services and so it falls back to… polling. every five minutes. killing my battery and my logs.
i had to put signal into the restricted battery group, which means no notifications. i anxiously await the new molly, as i already have a unified push environment. it looks like the migration will be a bit delicate.

I find mstrix’s E2E encryption design cumbersome and unintuitive to a point where id just prefer it off.
