Filling holes

• SCAN entries model to determine average time between messages, and look for significant deviation. This may indicate a hole.
• insert some kind of UI element into last message before possible hole, like a button that says "FILL THE HOLE"
• if FILL THE HOLE is tapped, get entries older than it using the Load older messages approach.
• RESCAN when done
