Add BuildContact and CRUD functionality for contacts

[fourjr]

This functionality does not work on all WhatsApp mobile apps. I suggest testing using a WhatsApp desktop client as the contact changes are reflected there.

Example Usage

// add or edit contact
client.SendAppState(appstate.BuildContact(v.Info.Sender, "Full Name"))
// remove contact
client.SendAppState(appstate.RemoveContact(v.Info.Sender))

That is awesome! It could probably prevent some bans

looks pretty good to me

Idk how for others, but I'd expect method RemoveContact to actually "remove the contact".

For consistency with other methods, we could apply the changes, so the function name makes sense, because it actually "builds remove contact" data - so BuildRemoveContact

The same for BuildAddContact

Or even

• BuildAddContactPatch
• BuildRemoveContactPatch

a bit wordy, but show what the methods actually do

Suggested change

	func BuildContact(target types.JID, fullName string) PatchInfo {
	func BuildAddContact(target types.JID, fullName string) PatchInfo {

OR

Suggested change

	func BuildContact(target types.JID, fullName string) PatchInfo {
	func BuildAddContactPatch(target types.JID, fullName string) PatchInfo {

[purpshell]

The current naming is consistent with the entire file though?

[devlikepro]

Suggested change

	func RemoveContact(target types.JID) PatchInfo {
	func BuildRemoveContact(target types.JID) PatchInfo {

OR

Suggested change

	func RemoveContact(target types.JID) PatchInfo {
	func BuildRemoveContactPatch(target types.JID) PatchInfo {

any updates?

this feature will be very good, looking forward to it

This feature is stable now. For it to work though, you need to enable a little trigger on the main device.

Note that that these contacts only stay on WhatsApp itself rather than becoming system-level, but it does make it better for keeping contacts separate if you have multiple numbers per device 👀.
