At least message-type ones, and at least without styling or memory-limit
concerns.

This (a) reduces the amount of passing secrets around that's needed, and (b) allows tests to log out in a more straightforwards manner.
Ish. The fixtures are a mess, but so is the nomenclature. Fix the latter and the former will probably follow.

expires.
When tokens are revoked (logout or expiry), the server now publishes an internal event via the new `logins` event broadcaster. These events are used to guard the `/api/events` stream. When a token revocation event arrives for the token used to subscribe to the stream, the stream is cut short, disconnecting the client.
In service of this, tokens now have IDs, which are non-confidential values that can be used to discuss tokens without their secrets being passed around unnecessarily. These IDs are not (at this time) exposed to clients, but they could be.

The following values are considered confidential, and should never be logged, even by accident:
* `Password`, which is a durable bearer token for a specific Login;
* `IdentitySecret`, which is an ephemeral but potentially long-lived bearer token for a specific Login; or
* `IdentityToken`, which may hold cookies containing an `IdentitySecret`.
These values are now wrapped in types whose `Debug` impls output opaque values, so that they can be included in structs that `#[derive(Debug)]` without requiring any additional care. The wrappers also avoid implementing `Display`, to prevent inadvertent `to_string()`s.
We don't bother obfuscating `IdentitySecret`s in memory or in the `.hi` database. There's no point: we'd also need to store the information needed to de-obfuscate them, and they can be freely invalidated and replaced by blanking that table and asking everyone to log in again. Passwords _are_ obfuscated for storage, as they're intended to be durable.

Trying to reliably do expiry mid-request was causing some anomalies:
* Creating a channel with a dup name would fail, then succeed after listing channels.
It was very hard to reason about which operations needed to trigger expiry, to fix this "correctly," so now expiry runs on every request.

It now includes events for all channels. Clients are responsible for filtering.
The schema for channel events has changed; it now includes a channel name and ID, in the same format as the sender's name and ID. They also now include a `"type"` field, whose only valid value (as of this writing) is `"message"`.
This is groundwork for delivering message deletion (expiry) events to clients, and notifying clients of channel lifecycle events.

It's not robust, and it's not yet able to handle multiline or rich
input. We'll get there.

Using Svelte.
No tests, no linting, yet.
This is just starting to get familiar with things.
You'll still have to run the dev server and the dev client builder each
in their own terminals.
Enjoy!

This change makes the identity cookie available throughout `/api`.

This also has the happy effect of removing an unwrap. This feels like a more coherent way of achieving the same result.

I had no idea `std` included a `matches!` macro, and I feel we're better off using it.

This silences some `-Wclippy::pedantic` warning, and it's just a good thing to do.
I've made the choice to have the docs comment face programmers, and to provide `hi --help` and `hi -h` content via Clap attributes instead of inferring it from the docs comment.
Internal (private) "rustdoc" comments have been converted to regular comments until I learn how to write better rustdoc.

streams.
The timestamp-based approach had some formal problems. In particular, it assumed that time always went forwards, which isn't necessarily the case:
* Alice calls `/api/channels/Cfoo` to send a message.
* The server assigns time T to the request.
* The server stalls somewhere in send() for a while, before storing and broadcasting the message. If it helps, imagine blocking on `tx.begin().await?` for a while.
* In this interval, Bob calls `/api/events?channel=Cfoo`, receives historical messages up to time U (after T), and disconnects.
* The server resumes Alice's request and finishes it.
* Bob reconnects, setting his Last-Event-Id header to timestamp U.
In this scenario, Bob never sees Alice's message unless he starts over. It wasn't in the original stream, since it wasn't broadcast while Bob was subscribed, and it's not in the new stream, since Bob's resume point is after the timestamp on Alice's message.
The new approach avoids this. Each message is assigned a _sequence number_ when it's stored. Bob can be sure that his stream included every event, since the resume point is identified by sequence number even if the server processes them out of chronological order:
* Alice calls `/api/channels/Cfoo` to send a message.
* The server assigns time T to the request.
* The server stalls somewhere in send() for a while, before storing and broadcasting.
* In this interval, Bob calls `/api/events?channel=Cfoo`, receives historical messages up to sequence Cfoo=N, and disconnects.
* The server resumes Alice's request, assigns her message sequence M (after N), and finishes it.
* Bob resumes his subscription at Cfoo=N.
* Bob receives Alice's message at Cfoo=M.
There's a natural mutual exclusion on sequence numbers, enforced by sqlite, which ensures that no two messages have the same sequence number. Since sqlite promises that transactions are serializable by default (and enforces this with a whole-DB write lock), we can be confident that sequence numbers are monotonic, as well.
This scenario is, to put it mildly, contrived and unlikely - which is what motivated me to fix it. These kinds of bugs are fiendishly hard to identify, let alone reproduce or understand.
I wonder how costly cloning a map is going to turn out to be…
A note on database migrations: sqlite3 really, truly has no `alter table … alter column` statement. The only way to modify an existing column is to add the column to a new table. If `alter column` existed, I would create the new `sequence` column in `message` in a much less roundabout way. Fortunately, these migrations assume that they are being run _offline_, so operations like "replace the whole table" are reasonable.

* Document message expiry.
* More warnings about Last-Event-Id.

This is intended to make it a bit more opaque to callers, and to free me up to experiment with the event ID format. It also makes event IDs tractable for testing.

This API structure fell out of a conversation with Kit. Described loosely:
kit: ok
kit: Here's what I'm picturing in a client
kit: list channels, make-new-channel, zero to one active channels, post-to-active.
kit: login/sign-up, logout
owen: you will likely also want "am I logged in" here
kit: sure, whoami

This is intended to manage storage growth. A community with broadly steady traffic will now reach a steady state (ish) where the amount of storage in use stays within a steady band.
The 90 day threshold is a spitball; this should be made configurable for the community's needs.
I've also hoisted expiry out into the `app` classes, to reduce the amount of non-database work repo types are doing. This should make it easier to make expiry configurable later on.
Includes incidental cleanup and style changes.
