This PR adds support for cabal-core's private message functionality in a few different ways:
a new CabalDetails.publishPrivateMessage function has been added
CabalDetails.getPrivateMessageList returns a list of channel names corresponding to ongoing PMs for the local user
CabalDetails.isChannelPrivate(channel) returns true if the passed in channel is a private message channel, false otherwise
CabalDetails.publishMessage now redirects a published message to publishPrivateMessage if it is used to post a message to a private message channel
A new convention was introduced to limit malicious use in clients: Channel names conforming to the hypercore public key format are forbidden in cabal-client as names for regular channel names (i.e. no channel names that are 64 hex characters)—these are restricted to private channels only (namely: one per person you are chatting with, the name being their public key (or yours, from their perspective))
publish-private-message, private-message events are now emitted
the PMChannelDetails has been added to enable support for private message channels with minimal duplicated functionality
CabalDetails.getChannels(opts) was extended with an option includePM to include private message channels in the returned result
PMs are moderation aware: if you hide a user the channel is hidden and no subsequent PMs will be displayed in your client
