    datatransfer: multi devices support when sending files · 55be1e14

    With the current implementation, when a user send a file to a contact
    who got several devices connected, a request will be sent to all of
    these devices and the first which answer will get the transfer. So,
    a user can't know on which device they will get the file.
    
    With this patch, in the same configuration the peer will receives
    the file on all of its devices and add the possibility to accept
    or refuse the file. To avoid to see multiple file transfers because
    a peer has several devices, I introduced a OptimisticMetaOutgoingInfo
    which represents the best current state of the transfer (for example,
    if one subtransfer is ongoing and one failed (cause refused) it will
    show the outgoing one).
    
    This is an ongoing work, in the near future we must:
    + Give the ability to clients to see the real status of each
    subtransfer (with the ability to cancel/retry transfer by devices)
    + Add a timer to close awaiting transfers to avoid to let a unused
    connection for too long.
