contacts: save the users' latest contact event ID

... to a persistent setting, and try to load it from NostrDB on app start.

This commit causes the user's contact list event ID to be saved
persistently as a user-specific setting, and to be loaded immediately
after startup from the local NostrDB instance.

This helps improve reliability around contact lists, since we previously
relied on fetching that contact list from other relays.

Eventually we will not need the event ID to be stored at all, as we will
be able to query NostrDB, but for now having the latest event ID
persistently stored will allow us to get around this limitation in the
cleanest possible way (i.e. without having to store the event itself
into another mechanism, and migrating it later to NostrDB)

Other notes:

- It uses a mechanism similar to other user settings, so it is
  pubkey-specific and should handle login/logout cases
