Before this commit we used to fetch the whole journal entry list in one
go, which caused issues in two cases:
1. On slow internet connections the download may fail.
2. With big journals: Android interrupts sync managers if they don't
perform any significant network traffic for over a minute[1],
and because we would first download and only then process, we would
sometimes hit this threshold.
Current chunk size is set to 50.

I set it to 2048 following the NIST recommendations[1] which said it was
OK, but actually, as pointed out by Dominik Schürmann, it's probably a
better idea to set to 3072.
Users who already have a 2048 key pair won't be affected, while users
who don't will have a 3072 key created for them. Users with different
key lengths can interact with each other without any issues.

This change makes clicking on journal items in the list to show in a
separate activity. At the moment it just makes for a slightly nicer
presentation. In the future we would change it to show the data in a
nice formatted way instead of a raw dump of the vObject.
There was an issue that for the first load it would only check the url
after a redirect (if there is one), which meant that for example,
the dashboard, would open in app because you'd be redirected to the
login page.
Account migration works in most cases, though while testing I managed to
get it to fail in some rare occasions. This commit adds a check to
verify the number of contacts we thought we migrated is equal to the
number of contacts we have after migration.
If the check fails, it presents the user with a notification that opens
the relevant FAQ entry on the EteSync website.
This doesn't work well, but I'm keeping it since it's still better than
what was there before.
We have a problem that on initial sync with long enough logs, Android
kills the sync manager before completion. The reason for that is that
due to the fact that EteSync first downloads the whole journal and only then
processes it, the sync manager spends a minute without making any
network traffic, which in turn makes Android kill the sync[1].
This should probably be fixed by paginating the initial download, that
is, downloading and processing the journal in chunks, which is possibly
a good idea regardless.

Android allows only having one address book per account, so until now
users of EteSync were only able to have one address book. This was
always an annoying limitation, but even more so now that journal sharing
is implemented.
Luckily, DAVdroid recently implemented multiple account support by
creating sub-accounts for address books.
This merge is based on the changes done in DAVdroid but was heavily
adjusted for EteSync.
It seems like there's an issue with Android that sometimes the userData
passed to addAccountExplicitly is not correctly set in the Android cache
making it return null on subsequent fetches. It doesn't always happen
because some cases clear the cache, however I can consistently trigger
it by creating and deleting an account a few times in a row.
This is an ugly workaround. For some reason a sync is called when an
account is removed. Since the main account is removed, we get an invalid
account exception when trying to fetch it.
Need to find out why a sync is even triggered and just remove it there.

This patch is an import of the DAVdroid changes, with adjustments to
work with EteSync, and a few changes that did not make sense for
EteSync. The original commits' split didn't provide any value over this
squash, and the amount of adjustments and addition needed to be done to
apply them, made me decide to squash this change together.
