This commit solves the problem described in detail in issue #15606, but in
essence, it fixes the clear icon by integrating rudimentary support for SVG
icons.
Fixes https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15606
- Hopefully, if SVG icons prove to be a solid solution, we can easily and
progressively migrate PNG icons to SVGs, but for the moment, it was aligned
with @flexsurfer
https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15606#issuecomment-1514631270
that we'll only use SVG icons on demand.
- Note that it's possible to import SVGs directly via js/require by installing
the library react-native-svg-transformer, but this approach is only good when
we don't want/need color customization, which is rarely the case with icons
where we want to change the foreground and/or background colors. I opted for
rendering the SVG icon as hiccup to support color customization.
- Since icons are fully memoized, the app's performance is on the same ballpark
as PNGs rendered with RN Image.
- It's possible to trim down SVGs by using a tool such as
https://github.com/svg/svgo, but this is obviously outside the scope of this
PR.
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.
