0.21.8.1159 beta

Reworked text & emoji rendering, and how their bounds get calculated.

- Reworked text rendering. For default text size nothing should have changed visually. For others:
1. Proper bubble height calculation
2. Proper touch detection
3. Proper link press highlighting
4. More comfortable line spacing while using larger text size
5. Any system font should work properly inside message texts & media captions

- Reworked emoji rendering:
1. Emojis are now slightly bigger
2. Better positioning, especially in chats list and message input
3. While using larger text sizes, emojis will now position properly
4. Faster emoji rendering
5. Smoothier scrolling in the emoji keyboard
6. Added little spacing between twitter emojis

- Changed the way text & emoji bounds get calculated
- Text size now affects link previews as well
- Updated ExoPlayer to 2.10.0
- Optimized options menu animation

Bugfixes

- Fixed rare crash when switching between emoji sets
- Fixed rare crash while processing messages
- Fixed incorrect bubble sizes when changing text size in settings
- Fixed transparent line glitches between items when opening options menu (e.g. when tapping on a message)

In case something looks broken after updating to this version, send screenshot as a document with all other essential information in the caption. (it's expected that something could have broken on customizable Android builds)

FYI new text rendering affects only messages, shared media, inline results and few other places.

0.21.8.1160 beta

- Added assertion (useful crash) for lost promise issue.
