Enable nip17 DMs

[Giszmo]

nip17 is getting more and more adoption and people chat me and then wonder why I never reply :(

Apparently "people" is only one so far but still, it's an important privacy improvement.

I offer a $200 bounty for this.

working on this @Giszmo
will try deliver this very soon

I would like to add this to noStrudel. however its not on my priority list at all and IMO other DM focused apps can handle this better

[Giszmo]

@hzrd149 are you saying that you would merge what @aybanda is working on if it looked good? Apparently he's doing the heavy lifting of an initial implementation already.

[hzrd149]

yes, with a few conditions.

The code would have to be reasonably organized and modular (should work independently without relying on other parts of the app loading first etc...)

Does not prompt the user to decrypt events as soon as the apps loads. In other words it should work with the user manually approving every decryption request and shouldn't be "too" annoying

I realize I haven't really helped at all here since I don't have contributing guidelines written up or any docs 😞

Hey @Giszmo @hzrd149
check this out #243

[Giszmo]

@aybanda I left a comment on your PR and saw other issues but I'm not fully familiar with how nostrudel or nip17 work so I'll leave it to you to fix this and will test again when you think it should work.

In summary, I'm pretty sure I got asked to decrypt more messages than I had received nip17 events while I did not get to see any nip17 messages in the end.

Very much looking forward to this, and I know a few others who are too.
Other than Coracle, I'm not aware of another client that implements Nip17 at this point (and I'm also having issues with that one).
I use noStrudel all day every day at this point when at a desktop, but not being able to receive encrypted messages from my partner and friends who use app like 0xchat and Amethyst (nip17 ones) is becoming a problem.

I realize I have no rep here, but I'd really like to somehow add an extra $100 to the bounty on top of @Giszmo .
