4.26v - messages delivery status

1. Message delivery status indication. https://doc.livehelperchat.com/docs/chat/#message-delivery-status-indication
2. Old chats will show messages as undelivered. Or you can execute query from update file.
3. This time it's recommended to run queries from `update_298.sql` to avoid database locks. If you have small db it's not necessary to do that. Make sure you know what you are doing.

4.24v Edge cases fixes

​Hi ,

1. In rare cases, if processing incoming webhook took a long time and a second request was sent one after another two chats were created. Transaction locking were added.
2. Option to log non-parsed messages and log all requests. Useful for debugging while debug output is disabled. E.g in production env.
