Open previously opened databases in correct order #774

Description

In LastOpenedDatabases, the most recently opened file is listed first and the
least recently opened one is listed last. If the databases are re-opened in this
order, LastOpenedDatabases is reversed afterwards. To avoid this, load the files
in reverse order, so LastOpenedDatabases is not modified.

Motivation and context

Currently, with each start of KeePassXC, the order of the tabs which represent previously opened databases gets reversed. This can be easily reproduced:

  1. Open at least two databases
  2. Close and open KeePassXC repeatedly, observe order of tabs

How has this been tested?

The change is rather minimal and easy to review. Testing was done in two ways:

  • make test was run and 100% tests passed
  • fix of the behavior described above was tested manually by repeatedly opening the application and looking at values stored in keepassxc.ini.

Types of changes

  • ✅ Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

I guess an optimal solution would behave like nearly every other application that uses tabs: After closing and reopening the application, all tabs are restored in the same order and the same tab is active as before (regardless of its position). This would require an additional property in keepassxc.ini for the tabs, which is distinct from the list of last opened databases. If wanted, I will try reworking this PR into this direction.

Otherwise I still think this PR solves a real issue. The fact that tabs change order with each program start—even if the user doesn't actually unlock and use any of the databases—seems far from being expected behavior to me. In my personal use-case it is introduces additional klicks, as after starting KeePassXC I have to switch back to my regularly used database, since my seldomly used database is rightmost in the list of tabs and active.

I agree with your approach you outlined above.

Can you rebase on latest develop branch? Thanks

Should be rebased now (I think I confused Travis by first merging instead of rebasing...)
