klopez4212 44b3c4823f Add swipeable photo stacks and native iOS gallery preview (#9259) ...

## Summary

Replace bubble photo carousels with swipeable, overlapping photo stacks,
with distinct sent/received layouts and a stationary photo count.
Opening and closing the gallery preserves the selected photo. Photo
frames follow the active theme.

Add an opt-in iOS 18+ native zoom gallery
(`BUZZ_NATIVE_PHOTO_ZOOM=true`) with paging, continuous dot scrubbing,
preview-backed loading, Reply/More actions, and Liquid Glass controls on
iOS 26+. The existing gallery remains the fallback. UIKit’s late corner
settling and brief return-transition input lockout remain known preview
limitations.

### Related issue

None found.

### Testing

Validation: full mobile pre-push checks/tests passed on `2b5bac3075`;
light/dark sent/received widget renders verified. Earlier native
simulator checks covered paging, scrubbing, downward close, and Reply.

Snapshots below are actual Flutter widget renders with sample photos
(not device screenshots).
