- treat an Autocrypt header as a kind of Autocrypt-Gossip: addr=<self> letting it participate in the existing cooperative key gossipping mechanics. - speed up processing of incoming autocrypt-gossip headers by using 1 sql commit for N gossip headers instead of the current N commits.
…r get_addr() returns.

Contacts we only have read messages from (common when just lurking in group chats)
now learn our current key and relay list through encrypted MDNs that contain an Autocrypt header
that we can regard as a kind of an
Autocrypt-Gossip: addr=<self>header.Group members stop re-gossipping keys that that their owner just distributed themselves.
MDNs go to all authentic relays of a contact instead of just a single
contact.get_addr()the PR also speeds up tracking incoming autocrypt-gossip headers of large chats by doing 1 SQL commit instead of N commits for N autocrypt-gossip headers.
