Sometimes, acceptance tests run by Drone fail due to a timeout when
starting the web browser sessions. Increasing the timeout should
minimize the possibility of the failure happening, although it can not
guarantee that it will not happen. A timeout multiplier of 10 was set
just because it looks like a reasonable margin of time, although it is
not based on any hard data.
The timeout multiplier affects too the timeout used when finding
elements. Like when starting a session, increasing the find timeout
simply gives the acceptance tests more time to find the objects before
giving up, so it does not change their behaviour when successful and can
also prevent failures due to default timeouts being too low for a
strained system.

Starting a session for an Actor can fail, typically, due to a timeout
connecting with the web browser. Now if the session fails to start it
will be tried again up to "actorTimeoutMultiplier" times in total before
giving up.

The timeout passed to the "find" method was multiplied by the
"findTimeoutMultiplier" attribute. However, as "find" used
"findAncestor" and "findAncestor", in turn, used "find" itself the
timeout was increased exponentially for ancestor elements. Now "find"
was split in "find" and "findInternal"; the first method is the public
one and modifies the given parameters as needed and then calls the
second method, private, that performs the find itself.

The "named" Mink selector first tries to find an exact match for its
locator and then, if not found, tries to find a partial match. Besides
other harder to track problems (see comment in the commit in which the
"content" locator was removed), this could cause, for example, finding
an action link titled "Favorited" when looking for the action link
titled "Favorite" (that is, one that conveys the opposite state to the
one found).
Although currently all the acceptance tests are compatible with both the
"named" and the "named_exact" Mink selectors the predefined locators are
modified to use the "named_exact" Mink selector to make them more
future-proof; the "named" Mink selector can still be used if needed
through the "customSelector" method in the builder object.

The "content" locator uses the "named" Mink selector and the "content"
Mink locator to find the element. The "named" Mink first tries to find
the elements whose content match exactly the given content but, if none
is found, then it tries to find elements that just contain the given
content.
This behaviour can lead to hard to track issues. Finding the exact match
and, if not found, finding the partial match is done in quick
succession. In most cases, when looking for an exact match the element
is already there, it is returned, and everything works as expected. Or
it may not be there, but then it is not there either when finding the
partial match, so no element is returned, and everything works as
expected (that is, the actor tries to find again the element after some
time).
However, it can also happen that when looking for an exact match there
is no element yet, but it appears after trying to find the exact match
but before trying to find the partial match. In that situation the
desired element would be returned along with its ancestors. However, as
only the first found element is taken into account and the ancestors
would appear first the find action would be successful, but the returned
element would not be the expected one. This is highly unlikely, yet
possible, and can cause sporadic failures in acceptance tests that,
apparently, work as expected.
Using a "named_exact" Mink selector instead of the "named" Mink selector
does not provide the desired behaviour in most cases either. As it finds
any element whose content matches exactly the given content, looking for
"Hello world" in "<div><p><a>Hello world</a></p></div>" would match the
"div", "p" and "a" elements; in that situation the "div" element would
be the one returned, when typically the "a" element would be the
expected one.
As it is error prone and easily replaceable by more robust locators the
"content" locator was removed from the predefined ones (although it can
still be used if needed through the "customSelector" method in the
builder object).

Since we now heavily use this endpoint for the contacts menu we better
set proper caching on the images. Else this gets reload over and over
again leading to slow loading menu and unneded bytes transfered.
* cache for 1 hour by default
* added ETag for validation

When in the upgrade process the version in the config is still the old
version. (Since we only upgrade it after the upgrade is complete).
However the app list fetched from the appstore must be the new list.
