lebaudantoine 64b4200fc3 ♻️(frontend) major chat refactoring
- Dissociate the chat observer (which persists messages in a store)
  from chat rendering.
- Do not keep the chat mounted in the DOM anymore.
- Recompute the minimal amount of data when a participant renames.
- Memoize most of the layout.
- Drop the manual textarea row-size computation: recent React Aria
  already handles it.

Known regressions still to solve: focus behavior on the input,
scroll behavior on message updates, and edge cases around list
sizing.

Not sure yet whether there is a better way to memoize the
virtualized list; open to feedback.
