Add GSD mode to reprioritize Sidebar results

If you haven’t already, check out our contributing guidelines for onboarding!

---

Deliverables:

• Add a new user preference in SettingsPage that will allow the user to set a priority preferences for the “Chats” screen (a.k.a. sidebar) it will have two different modes: “GSD” (value gsd) and “Most Recent” (value default).

• This will require implementing the react-native-picker library and testing that it works on all platforms: https://github.com/react-native-picker/picker

• We must also modify this method so that the logic changes as following when someone has selected gsd mode:

  • Pinned reports still display but they are no longer prioritized in any particular order (e.g. moved to the top)
  • Reports that have been read will no longer display in the list and should drop out of the list once they are read (and not the active report)
  • Results will be sorted in alphabetical order

Note: This should only affect the sidebar and not other methods using the getOptions() method here.

• Changing this mode should result in an immediate refresh of the sidebar and will also be persisted in the server so making an API call will be necessary.

Ok cool thanks. I believe the second one is what we want to go with so let’s use react-native-picker-select.
