show reactions - Githubissues

with recent core master, we have apis to get reactions from core; we should display them near the bubbles, quite similar as discussed for deltachat-ios:

[x] show reactions below the text, a bit outside the bubble, on the bubble border

this make clear the reaction is not part of what was initially sending and also is logic wrt "top-down". most, but not all bigger messengers follow these guidelines, here are some examples how reactions are displayed by others on android:

whatsapp

signal

telegram - not so good

then:

[x] the reaction line should display the "reaction emoji", followed by a counter, space, next "reaction emoji"
[x] a "reaction emoji" may be any kind of short text, although that is not encouraged to be sent, we have to deal with that
[x] there may be more reactions than fit into one line, so we cut at some point and show "..." or so; details are available with the next point
[ ] a tap in the reaction line should open reaction details EDIT: moved to dedicated issue #2675

nb: maybe a look at the signal code helps.

timing

there is no urgency, we want to ship a round of releases that have reactions in core but no option to send them (displaying, of course, would be fine, but again, no urgency :)
