Motivation for this change

As I'm sick and tired of skype, I needed qtox to work properly.

As a young project there's been quite a bit of churn and it turns out a number of changes have been made to the libraries.

We currently have 3 versions of libtoxcore:

  1. libtoxcore-old - the old API of the old library
  2. libtoxcore-new - the new API of the old library
  3. libtoxcore - the new library that everybody either has moved to or is in the process of moving to

All the tox clients have now been updated and those that can use the proper libtoxcore do (spoiler, we only have one user each of -old and -new).

All this came about because I wanted the latest qtox... Oh well.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing
    (nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
    or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf
    on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • Linux
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Just to elaborate, qtox runs with all these changes and nox-review wip comes in clean for everything. Non-qtox have not been tested.

Regarding the naming of the libraries, the only user of "libtoxcore-dev" is "tox-prpl" which while not having any immediate plans to move to the proper libtoxcore, the main dev agrees that it is the way forward.

As a consequence, when that happens we will be left with "libtoxcore-old" and "libtoxcore" which seems reasonable.

@peterhoeg thank you very much for your effort! I know, versioning in libtoxcore is a pain... I did a quick check with toxic/ratox/utox and it seems to work. I guess its save to merge
