Logan Johnson dd2d3cf4ea fix(mobile): hide archived people and agents from choices; give them their own members section (#9320)
## Summary
Mobile kept offering archived people and agents as choices: Add members
(including adding an agent to a Solo chat), New DM, the `@` mention
chooser, Search › People and the Agents page. An archived agent that
shares a live agent's name also forced a qualifier onto the live one,
because names were told apart across both. The members sheet listed
archived members among live ones with nothing to mark them.

Now, matching desktop:
- Archived people and agents are left out of those choices. History
(messages, activity, profiles) still shows them.
- The members sheet moves archived members out of People and Agents into
their own "Archived · N" section after both: archived people, then
archived agents. Each row reads "Archived · Member" (or Agent) in place
of the role, status or "Working…" line. A screen reader reads it with
the name. The members preview on the channel info page (the first five
members above "See all") follows the same order and label.
- Nothing is hidden or marked while the community's archive list is
unknown or cannot be read, and you are never hidden from yourself.

### Related issue
None found. The desktop members dialog gets the same Archived section in
https://github.com/block/buzz-app/pull/3203.

### Testing
Widget and provider tests cover each surface, the unknown-archive case,
the viewer rule and a community switch. Each test fails without its
change.

Android emulator, local relay, fictional names. Each archived person or
agent has a live namesake. History rows still show archived identities,
as intended.

## Details
- The archive reader (the community's NIP-IA archive list, signed by the
relay's NIP-11 `self` key) moves from `shared/me` to
`shared/identity_archives`, since it is no longer Solo-only.
`hiddenArchivedIdentitiesProvider` is the single rule the surfaces read.
- Pulling to refresh on the Agents page also rereads the archive list.
Other views reuse the last list, as on desktop; it is also reread on
reconnect and when the agent inventory changes.
- A refresh keeps the last known list. After a community or account
switch, the previous community's list does not apply: nobody is hidden
until the new list arrives.
- The shared chooser drops archived identities before names are
compared, which covers Add members, New DM and mentions.
- Search › People asks the relay for 24 people and shows the first 8
that are not archived, so archived matches do not push live people out.
- The channel info preview shows the label on one line, so with a long
name the role after "Archived" can be cut off. A screen reader still
reads it in full.
- Not changed: typing a full `@Name` by hand (without the chooser) still
resolves against archived channel members too, so an archived namesake
can still make a typed name ambiguous. Picking from the chooser is
unaffected. Possible follow-up.
