This is a huge patch which does some major refactoring like:
- renaming "Image Generation" to "Image Creation" in most places,
to better match its new command (`!bai image create`)
- relocating image creation command (`!bai image` -> `!bai image create`),
so it wouldn't conflict with the new image editing command (`!bai image edit`)
- introducing a new image editing command (`!bai image edit`), which
is meant to work only with the OpenAI provider, but doesn't fully work yet
due to https://github.com/64bit/async-openai/issues/364, though a next patch will fix it
- adding support for reading images off of Matrix conversations and forwarding them to
text conversations. Works for OpenAI, but not for Anthropic yet
(requires custom patches) and not for OpenAI-Compat (no support for
images there)
- relocating some utils around (base64, mime)
When speech-to-text/flow-type = `only_transcribe`, the bot will now send
text messages by default, not notices.
While notice messages may be less desirable with other bots in the room,
it's probably a better default for most people who enable "transcribe-only" mode.
This is an improvement related to https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14
This patch introduces a new `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc`
variable which indicates the time the conversation got started.
Using `baibot_now_utc` is still possible, but given that the current
time is a moving target, its use is in conflict with prompt caching.
Because the new `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc` prompt variable
is a more reasonable default, we're now using it in all sample configs.
The other prerequisite seems to be not using a `prompt` (`prompt: null`),
but we already supported this.
It'd be nice to add an optional `max_completion_tokens` parameter as
well, for the benefit of the o1 models, but this is not yet supported by
async-openai.
Possibly tracked here: https://github.com/64bit/async-openai/issues/272
Fallback support was intentionally removed in 9908512968,
because it was deemed OK to do so.
It turns out that Element iOS still doesn't properly do user mentions
(and likely never will, until Element X replaces it), so we can't just
drop the fallback user mentions logic without affecting all these
clients. It's possible that the Element Android is no better (unverified claim).
This actually fixes 2 issues.

When people enable transcribe-only mode and the bot replies outside of a
thread, messages will no longer look like this: `> 🦻 Transcribed text`.
Instead, they will:
- look like this: `Transcribed text`
- get an emoji reaction (🦻) sent by the bot itself,
to indicate that the message is a transcription
---------------------------------------
As https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14 discusses,
the `> 🦻` prefixing of messages also served the purpose of indicating
to the bot that this is not its own message, but rather something it
"heard" from a user.
Given that out-of-thread replies no longer include this, they could be
mistaken for bot messages.
Because transcribed messages are posted as notice messages, we can
easily tell them apart from regular text-generated messages by the bot
itself, so we can (and do) treat them differently.
Thankfully, the bot does not yet support building a text-generation
conversation from arbitrary messages (something discussed in
https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/15), so these out-of-thread
replies having the wrong owner are not an issue for now.
If we do land support for this, we'll probably need to make the bot inspect such notice messages
posted by it, inspect their reactons and attribute them properly (🦻 -> user message).
