feat: Generate link previews in StatusChatInput - introduce remove/reload link to link preview model

1. Updating the link preview model to allow remove URL data. This will discard the link preview data and mark the item as immutable. When an item is immutable it won't accept further updates.

2. Remove reset model when the model urls is changing. Use insert/update/remove rows to avoid any unnecessary UI updates and visual artefacts.

2. Add reload link API. It will request again the link preview
