handlegvoice: put calls and voicemails in the SMS chat - #29

Conversation
Google Voice gives every call and voicemail its own thread, so the bridge was creating a new chat for each one. Calls and voicemails with a single phone number now go into that number's SMS chat (t.<number>) instead. Each merged message remembers which thread it came from, so marking the chat as read and deleting it also reach the call and voicemail threads. Calls that were already bridged into their own chat stay where they are.

Looks reasonable. I'm not sure if the backfill stuff will work properly, it might ignore some call messages if there are text messages later. That's probably not the end of the world though

Problem
Google Voice puts every call and voicemail in its own thread, separate from the text thread with the same person. The bridge turns every thread into its own chat, so every call shows up as a new chat in the inbox.
Fix
Call and voicemail threads with one phone number now go into that number's text chat (
t.<number>). If you've never texted that person, their calls still end up together in one chat.Messages that came from a call or voicemail thread remember which thread they came from. Marking the chat as read marks those threads read too, and deleting the chat deletes them so they don't bring the chat back.
