feat(privacy): strip tracking parameters from links on paste, send and render (#103)
Shared links routinely carry ad/analytics identifiers (utm_*, fbclid, gclid, YouTube si=, Amazon ref=/tag=, X s=/t=, TikTok _r/_t, …) that tie every recipient's click back to the person who shared the link. New src/app/utils/urlTracking.ts is a pure, local stripper: a global list + utm_/pk_/matomo_ prefixes, plus host-scoped rules so e.g. `si` is only removed on youtube/spotify. matrix.to and non-http(s) schemes are never rewritten; unparseable input is returned unchanged; Amazon's `th`/`psc` variant selectors are deliberately kept. 13 unit tests. Wired at three points, all behind a new Settings → Privacy toggle (`stripTrackingParams`, default on): - paste: plain-text pastes are cleaned and re-inserted through Slate's own insertData so multi-line pastes still split into paragraphs; - send: RoomInput submit + schedule paths and MessageEditor saves clean both `body` and `formatted_body` (the HTML variant unescapes `&` around each URL and re-escapes it so the markup is untouched); - render: linkify `formatHref`/`format` and explicit `<a href>` in formatted_body are cleaned, so links sent from other clients are safe to click too. LINKIFY_OPTS is spread into memoised per-timeline objects, so the toggle is a module flag kept current by ClientNonUIFeatures.
