Logan Johnson 166d383ca7 feat(mobile): read web app catch-up marks for unread state (#8103)
🤖

## Summary
The web and desktop app (`buzz-app`) saves a "caught up" mark when you
scroll to the bottom of a channel and stay there, and another one for a
thread. Mobile did not understand these marks. It relied on the separate
per-message read marks that `buzz-app` also kept. `buzz-app` is about to
stop keeping those per-message marks under the "caught up" mark
(block/buzz-app#590), to save space in the synced read state.

With this change, mobile reads the "caught up" marks with the same rules
as `buzz-app`:
- `activity:<channel>` reads ordinary top-level messages up to its time.
It does not read thread replies, mentions, broadcasts or DM messages,
because reaching the bottom of the channel does not prove you saw those.
- `thread-activity:<root>` reads the replies in that thread up to its
time.

So a message you read in `buzz-app` stays read on mobile: in the app
badge, the channel list unread state, the "new messages" divider when
you open a channel, and the Mark read / Mark unread action.

Mobile does not write these marks. It only reads them.

### Related issue
None found. Companion to block/buzz-app#590. The old desktop app in this
repo is intentionally not changed.

### Testing
- New badge tests: `activity:` clears an ordinary top-level message, and
does not clear a mention, a thread reply or a DM. `thread-activity:`
clears replies in its own thread only. The two "clears" tests fail
without this change.
- New tests for the per-message read check and the "ordinary message"
rule.
- `flutter analyze`, `dart format` check and the full mobile test suite
pass locally.
- Not yet exercised on a device.
