rearranging thumbnails

• on the thumbnail menu, there is a new 'move' submenu. you can move the current selection of files to the start or end of the media list, or to one before or after the earliest selected file, or to the file you right-clicked on to create the menu, or to the first file's position if the selection is not contiguous. if the selection is non-contiguous, it will be made so in the move
• added these rearrange commands to the shortcuts system, as 'move thumbnails' under the 'thumbnails' set. I wasn't sure whether to add some default shortcuts, like ctrl+numpad 7/3/4/6 for home/end/left/right or something--let me know what you think

misc

• thanks to user help, fixed a stupid typo from last week that caused some bad errors (including crashes, in some cases) when doing non-simple duplicate filtering (issue #1514). this is the issue the v560a hotfix was made for
• fixed another stupid content update typo that was causing 'already in db' results to not get metadata updates
• as a hardcoded shortcut, Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert now copies the currently selected tags in any taglist. it'll output the full tag/predicate text, with namespace, no counts
• I've shortened some thumbnail/media-viewer menu labels, made the 'delete' line into a submenu, and ensured the top info line is always a short variant, with detailed info bumped off to the submenu off the top line. I hate how these menus are often super-wide and thus a pain to navigate to the submenus, so let me know what situations still make them wide
• the file log arrow button menu now has entries for 'delete already in db' and 'delete everything'
• the 'add these tags to the favourites list?' yes/no now only fires if you try to add more than five tags ot once
• the various dialogs in the client that auto-yes or auto-no now show a live countdown in their title string
• the window position saving system is now stricter about what it records. maximised and fullscreen state is only saved if 'remember size' is false, and the last size/position is not saved at all if 'remember size/position' is false (previously, it would save these values but not restore them, but let's try being more precise here)
• fixed a 'omg what happened, closing the window now' error in the duplicate filter if you try to 'go back' while it is loading a new set of pairs to show
• fixed the 'vacuum db' command to correctly save 'last vacuumed time' for all files vacuumed in a job, not just the last!
• whenever a copy2 file copy (which includes copying file times and permission bits) fails for permission reasons, hydrus now falls back to a normal copy and logs the failure, including the modified time that failed to copy (which is the bit we actually care about here)

db update stuff

• if there is a known bitrot issue on update, you now get a nicer error message. rather than the actual error, you are now told which version is safe to update to. to christen this system, I've added a check for the recent millisecond timestamp conversion, which caused some issues for users updating older clients. if your client is v551 or older and you try to update to v561 or later, you will be told to update to v558 first. sorry for the inconvenience here, and thank you for the reports (issue #1512)
• if you try to boot a database more than 50 versions earlier than the code, the client-based version popups now happen in the correct order, with the >50 exception firing before the >15 warning
• when an update asks a not-super-important yes/no question, I will now make it auto-yes or auto-no after ten minutes with the recommended value. this will ensure that automatic updaters will still progress (previously, they were hanging forever!)

some downloader stuff

• thanks to a user, the derpibooru now fetches the post description as a note and the source as an associable URL. I tweaked the submitted stuff a bit, simplifying the parsing and discluding 'No description provided.' notes
• thanks to a user, the e621 parser can now grab files from posts where the (spicy, I think) content is normally not shown due to a guest login. the posts still won't show up in guest-login gallery searches, so this won't alter your normal results, but if you run into a post like this in your browser and drag-and-drop it onto the client, it now works
• I tried to improve the parsing system's de-newlining. this thing is a long-time hack--I've never liked it and I want to replace it with proper multi-line support--but for now I've made sure the de-newliner strips each line of leading/trailing whitespace and discards empty lines. the mode that doesn't collapse newlines (note parsing, for the most part) now does strip leading/trailing newlines along with other whitespace, meaning you no longer have to try and strip extra <p> and <br> tags and stuff yourself when grabbing notes. also, the formula UI where it says 'Newlines are collapsed before...' now says when it won't be collapsing newlines due to it being a note parser
• the String Match processing step now explicitly removes newlines before it runs, meaning it can still catch multi-line notes properly. you can now run a proper regex on a multi-line note

boring cleanup

• optimised some thumbnail handling code, stuff like fetching the current list of sorted selected media
• large collections will be a little faster to select and otherwise do operations on
• sketched out a new ClientGlobals and client controller interface and started refactoring various HG.client_controller to the new CG. this makes no important running changes, but it cleans the messy HG file and will help future coding and type checking in the IDE as it is fleshed out
• added some help text to the edit file maintenance panel and fixed some gonk layout in the 'add new work' panel
• fixed some instances of the 'unknown' import status showing as a blank string
• fixed an error message in the export folder export job that fired when a file to be exported is missing--it was just giving blank instead of the file hash, and its direction to file maintenance was old and unclear
