Timestamps in chat are time of download #536

This is confusing as not all clients are always on and always receiving drop messages.

E.g. the time when the server received the message is preferable.

A workaround would be to let the clients state "received a moment ago" instead of "a moment ago" to clarify the confusion but it would be better to have more meaningful timestamps.

I don't think it works this way: https://github.com/Qabel/qabel-core/blob/master/chat/src/main/java/de/qabel/chat/service/MainChatService.kt#L161

The time shown is the creation date of the drop message, thus it depends on the correctness of the senders clock.

It's a bug in the desktop. The code bridge in the DropDaemon doesn't keep the creationDate. Thus, the default new Date() is used here

Also the time stamps are just "HH:MM" the day is missing which leads to confusion.
