New Feature: Block Users

You can now really block a user!

(I already blocked @BotondAKovacs after his last review on my PR)

---

How does it work?

The Profile data class has been updated to include a hasBlocked field, which is a List<String> containing the user IDs of any users you have blocked.

Implementation Details:

• ProfilesViewModel Update:

  • The ProfilesViewModel has been enhanced to simultaneously retrieve the displayed user and the current phone's user.
  • To refresh the user's own profile, call profilesViewModel.getSelfProfile(). This will update profilesViewModel.selfProfile with the Profile of the user on the device (retrieved from Firebase.auth.uid).

• Blocking Method:

  • The blocking functionality is implemented in ProfilesViewModel. It works by updating the hasBlocked list of the phone's user Profile to include the selectedProfile.

⚠️ Caution:

• One-Way Blocking Only: Currently, blocking a user is only one-way. There's no screen yet to view or unblock users you've blocked. You have to remove them manually in Firebase.

---

Next Steps:

• Adapt ProfileView and ProfileEdit to directly use selfProfile instead of selectedProfile.
• Update the tests to reflect these changes, and potentially add more tests to improve coverage. (Our current line coverage is 86%, aiming for 💯)
• Implement an unblock screen (planned for Milestone 3).
• Do the implementation of the report-user (which is slightly more complicated, but this PR prepares the field well)

You can already review my current implementation, this is the chore of the PR. Any further commits is about adapting the rest of the code to my new implementation, and adapting / creating tests.
