• Fix #143 & #153, i.e.:
  • make SDK resilient to some constructors (e.g. Samsung) memory cleaning feature by caching websiteID and tokenID and keep a session per website instead of only one,
  • consolidate SDK against successive calls to Crisp.configure, postponing REST/Socket calls to ChatActivity.onCreate instead of Crisp.configure, instantiating everything in it, keeping ChatActivity context instead of the one provided in Crisp.configure, limit REST calls on start and use cache if it fails.
• Handle message:removed socket message,
• Add following public APIs:
  • void Crisp.configure(Context context, String websiteID, String tokenID),
  • String Crisp.getSessionIdentifier(Context) (GitHub #125),
  • void Crisp.setSessionSegment(String segment, boolean overwrite),
  • void Crisp.setSessionSegments(List<String> segments, boolean overwrite),
  • void Crisp.setSessionSegments(List<String> segments) with overwrite=false,
  • void Crisp.pushSessionEvents(List<SessionEvent> events).
• Update public APIs:
  • void Crisp.configure(Context context, String websiteID) now resets the tokenID,
  • void setTokenID(Context context, String tokenID),
  • Crisp.configure & Crisp.setTokenID now are ignored while a session is ongoing instead of postponing them to chat closing like the Web SDK,
  • Crisp.resetChatSession now is done right away if a session is ongoing, closing the chat,
  • void Crisp.setSessionSegment(String segment) now sends explicitly overwrite=false.
• Update SDK & libs.
