06b60e682d fix(mobile): merge relay recounts with locally seen thread replies (#4633)
## Summary

- Keep mobile thread reply badges current by merging relay recounts with
replies observed locally.
- Retain replies in the local channel store while continuing to filter
them from the main timeline.
- Match the thread summary behavior already used on desktop, including
the reply count, latest reply time, and participant avatars.

## Why

On mobile, the "N replies" badge under a channel message can stall at a
stale count or remain missing after a reply arrives. This makes the
badge unreliable and can cause people to miss replies.

The badge has two inputs: best-effort recounts from the relay and
replies the client sees arrive. Mobile previously let any positive relay
recount override the local view, while also discarding replies from its
local message store. A delayed or lost recount, or a reply received
after the recount, could therefore leave the badge behind.

This change combines both inputs by using the higher reply count, the
later last-reply time, and a merged participant list. Relay timestamps
have one-second precision, so equal timestamps do not prove that a
recount included a locally observed reply. Comparing counts preserves
that reply instead of trusting recency alone. Desktop already uses this
merge behavior.

## Validation

At commit `4e3356636f5ad62e8f07910af305c532186c6c08` with a clean
worktree:

- `flutter test` for mobile: 1105 passed, 1 skipped
- `flutter analyze` for mobile: no issues found
- Reverting the merge so a positive relay recount shadows local replies
fails 4 of the new tests, including the same-second and
reply-after-recount cases. Restoring the store-level reply drop fails
both new provider tests.

Added tests:

-
[`timeline_message_test.dart`](https://github.com/block/buzz/tree/main/mobile/test/features/channels/timeline_message_test.dart),
covering relay-only recounts, a reply newer than the recount, a reply in
the same second as the recount, a lost recount, a zero recount, nested
replies at the root and at the reply they answer, a deleted reply, and
participant merging and capping.
-
[`channel_messages_provider_test.dart`](https://github.com/block/buzz/tree/main/mobile/test/features/channels/channel_messages_provider_test.dart),
covering a live reply reaching the store while staying out of the main
timeline, and a reply newer than the relay recount raising the badge.
