This is the introductory work to support the new requirements for unfurling
URLs (while the message is a draft) and displaying link previews (after the
message is sent). Refer to the related status-go PR for a lot more interesting
details https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/3471.
Fixes https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15469
### Notes
- The old link preview code will be removed separately, both in status-go and
status-mobile.
- I did the bulk of the work in status-go
https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/3471. If you want to understand
how this is all implemented, do check out the status-go PR because I heavily
documented the solution, rationale, next steps, etc.
### Performance
Does the feature perform well? Yes, there's very little overhead because
unfurling URLs happen in status-go and the event is debounced. I also payed
special attention to use a simple caching mechanism to avoid doing unnecessary
RPC requests to status-go if the URLs are cached in the client.
I have some ideas on how to improve performance further, but not in this PR
which is already screaming for reviews.
* use debounce-and-dispatch to improve mention performance
* increase time to 400ms
* decrease time to 300ms
* update status-go-version.json
* update status-go-version.json

Both replies and pinned messages relied on subscribing their data from messages.
This worked only as long as we loaded the message in the database, so it would break say if another user replied to a message that wasn't in the current user view.
It also changes the way pinned messages are handled, before the notification was actually sent over the wire, but that's unnecessary, since it can be generated locally on both parts.
This is a bit of a breaking change with the previous version, since if you pin a message with this version, older version will not see a system message. this can be easily fixed by restoring the previous behavior of sending the message, but not sure it's worth it.
It also adds the ability to Delete message for everyone that have Deleted for me (discussed with John) and the ability of unpin messages that have been deleted for me.
* fix: remove contact from mutual contact list after contact is blocked
* remove our contact from remote user contact list when contact is blocked

Removes the feature that allows users to cancel outgoing contact requests (possible spam vector). From now on, the user who sent the contact request will only be able to see the notification in the pending state. It seems this feature will be revisited in the future, but for now the agreement is to do the simplest thing and remove it.
Fixes https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15357
Steps to test:
- Send CR from A to B.
- A should see a new notification in the pending state.
- B should receive a notification. If B accepts the CR, then A's pending CR disappears. If B declines the CR, then A's notification stays pending forever.
Note: As expected, A can swipe left->right to mark the outgoing pending notification as read or swipe right->left to delete it.

This commit adds collapsing of categories.
It also adds ordering of chats/categories as it was previously ignored.
It also removes the communities/enabled? flag as it's not used anymore,
and communities should always be enabled.
Adds support for swiping left/right on some types of notifications. Swiping left
(from left to right) shows a blue button allowing the user to mark the
notification as read/unread. Swiping right (from right to left) shows a red
button, allowing the user to delete the notification for good.

Technical notes
===============
How's the performance? It feels near native performance in a production release
in a mid-range smartphone. So I'd say it's pretty good, but let me know if you
find any issue.
- I refrained from trying to eliminate all code duplication in this PR. Some
notifications will behave differently, especially the ones with call to
action, so I ask you to please take that in consideration when reviewing. See
https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15118
- React Native Gesture Handler has a component named
[Swipeable](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/api/components/swipeable/).
I used it instead of writing a monstrosity 👹 of code in
Reanimated to achieve the same results.
- RN Gesture Handler touchables are the only ones that work with the Swipeable
component, so I used them and added vars to `react-native.gesture`.
- I had to manually interpolate the translation X of the buttons behind
notifications because notifications are transparent. To make interpolation
work with `Swipeable` it's mandatory to use RN `Animated.View` and not
`Reanimated.View` (see next point).
- `Swipeable` expects us to pass functions that will receive RN
`AnimatedInterpolation` instances and the rendering lifecycle does not work as
usual. Hooks didn't trigger as expected, functional Reagent components didn't
behave as expected, etc. This means `Reanimated.View` and its interpolation
function is out of question. I did try for almost two days, nothing works.
Testing notes
=============
These are some of the manual tests I ran. There are more scenarios to cover
obviously. Assuming no unread notifications before each flow:
Contact request notification
============================
From the perspective of an user A:
1. Receive a contact request from a non-mutual contact B.
2. Verify the unread count is displayed over the bell icon.
3. Verify the unread count is displayed on the `Messages > Contacts` tab, as
well as on the AC `Contact requests` tab.
4. Open the AC and before accepting/declining the contact request, check that
you CAN'T swipe left or right.
5. Accept or decline the contact request.
6. Check the unread indicator disappears in all necessary places.
7. Press on the notification and see if you're redirected to the chat.
8. Go back to the AC and swipe left to mark as `Unread`. Notice that opening the
chat marks the notification as `Read`. Also very important, notice that the
`Messages > Contacts` tab will NOT show the *pending contact requests*
section at the top. This is on purpose, given the notification is unread, but
the user has already accepted/declined the contact request, hence it's not
pending.
9. Swipe left againg to mark as `Read`. Check all unread indicators are updated.
10. Swipe right to delete the notification (it won't be displayed ever again).
Admin notification
==================
1. Generate an admin notification, e.g. a community owner receiving a request
notification to join.
2. Verify the unread count is displayed over the bell icon, as well as the AC
Admin tab.
3. Verify the community unread indicator is correctly displayed.
4. As an admin, open the AC and before accepting/declining the request, check
that you CAN'T swipe left or right.
5. Accept or decline the membership request.
6. Check the unread indicator disappears accordingly.
7. Swipe left to mark as `Read`.
8. Swipe left to mark as `Unread`.
9. Swipe right to delete the notification (it won't be displayed ever again).
Mentions & replies
==================
Similar steps outlined for `Admin` notifications, but there's one important
difference. Mention and reply notifications don't require a call to action from
the user, so the user can swipe left/right **without** first having to do
anything on the notification (such as pressing on it). See issue
https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15118
What about other types of notifications?
========================================
Swipe gestures for other notification types will be implemented in a separate
PR.
