fix: track category opened state

Category `opened` state is tracked and restored on model change.

Previously, when the model data for categories and channels was changed, all unexpanded, or collapsed categories would automatically expand. This was due to the default state of the category `opened` property being restored (which was set to true) when the model data changed.

With this change in place, the opened state of each category is tracked in the parent component (`StatusChatListAndCategories`), and on each model change, the opened state is restored.

NOTE: it was tempting to the put the changes inside of the `StatusChatListCategory` component, however this would not work as the component is used as a delegate, and all state is wiped on each model change.
