- use the TimestampSecs newtype instead of raw i64s
- use FixedOffset instead of a minutes_west offset
- check localOffset each time the timing is calculated, and set it
if it's stale - even for v1.
- check for and fix missing rollover when calculating timing
- stop explicitly passing localOffset in the sync/start call
If the client's clock is behind AnkiWeb's, even by a few seconds,
we can end up with a situation where last_begin_at is updated after
the sync to a value less than the mtime we received from AnkiWeb,
causing the collection to be saved, which bumps the modtime.
Work around this by recording mtime at begin() time, and seeing if it
has changed in either direction.
Thanks to Rumo, who did the hard work looking into it:

This is more awkward to handle now, as the types are only available
at type-checking time. Python's static typing is such a mess :-(
Saves having to serialize the note fields and q/a templates, which
is particularly a win when rendering question/answer in the browse
screen.
Also some work towards being able to preview notes without having to
commit them to the database.
- notes with wrong field count are now recovered instead of
being deleted
- notes with missing note types are now recovered
- notes with missing cards are now recovered
- recover_missing_deck() still needs implementing
- checks required
- notetypes are fetched from the DB as needed, and cached in Python
- handle note type changes in the backend. Multiple operations can now
be performed in one go, but this is not currently exposed in the GUI.
- extra methods to grab sorted note type names quickly, and fetch by
name
- col.models.save() without a provided notetype is now a no-op
- note loading/saving handled in the backend
- notes with no valid cards can now be added
- templates can now be deleted even if they would previously
orphan notes
a number of fixmes have been left in notes.py and models.py
