Tom Brow 464448c7b2 fix(mobile): resync read state from the last fetch, not the whole week (#8903)
## Summary

Every read-state resync (each reconnect and each resume from background)
fetches every read-state blob (kind 30078, `#t: read-state`) from the
past week, then opens a live subscription with no `since`, which replays
the same blobs again. Merging keeps the newest mark per context, so
blobs from before the previous fetch add nothing. Each blob is a whole
device's read marks, about 100KB for a heavy reader.

A later fetch and the live subscription now start
`relayCrossDeviceSkewSeconds` (1860s) before the last successful fetch
was sent. The relay rejects a `created_at` more than 900s from its
clock, and blobs come from other devices, so a writer 900s slow and this
phone 900s fast are at most 1800s apart. Every blob stored since that
fetch falls inside the window. A failed fetch keeps the earlier start.
The first fetch of a manager still covers the whole horizon.

Companion to [#8901](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8901) and
[#8902](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8902), which do the same for
the unread catch-up and the latest-message query.

Measured on an iPhone 12 mini against the internal relay, resuming after
60s in the background (kind 30078 websocket bytes, instrumented profile
build):

| | main | this PR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Read-state resync on resume | about 1.8MB (91 blobs, fetch plus
subscription replay) | 415KB (4 blobs changed since the last fetch) |

## Testing

- New test: the first fetch covers the horizon, the live subscription
and later fetches start 1860s before the last successful fetch was sent,
and a failed fetch keeps that start. Confirmed it fails without the fix
and with the earlier 960s window.
- New test: after the clock moves back, a resync whose fetch fails isn't
retried on every later read; the next reconnect fetches the whole
horizon. Confirmed it fails without the fix.
- `just mobile-check` and `just mobile-test` pass.
- Device: resumed the app on the 12 mini on Wi-Fi; the resync fetched
only the 4 blobs stored since the previous fetch, and the live
subscription replayed none.
