When a message was already in the target language, or its language
could not be detected, Translate switched itself back off with no chip,
no "Translating…" and no error. Show a short toast instead: "This
message is already in English." or "Couldn't tell what language this
message is in, so it wasn't translated."

Fixes #287

jaredandClaude Opus 4.8 ecb7b1a7fb feat(translation): on-device message translation
Add per-message translation that runs entirely on-device via the
Chromium built-in Translator + LanguageDetector APIs. Message text
never leaves the machine and never touches a cloud service, preserving
the E2EE guarantee. When the on-device engine is unavailable
(non-Chromium / mobile) the feature simply hides itself; there is no
network fallback.

- Engine abstraction (utils/translation): TranslationEngine interface
  plus a chromeTranslationEngine implementation (feature-detected,
  caches translator/detector instances, download-progress monitor).
  Pure lang-code helpers (normalize/sameLanguage/curated targets) with
  unit tests.
- Settings: translateTargetLang (default English) + autoTranslate
  (opt-in), with a Messages settings tile — a target-language select
  and an auto-translate switch, disabled with a note where unsupported.
- useMessageTranslation hook + shared per-event toggle atom-family and a
  persisted LRU cache so scrollback never re-translates.
- UI: a Translate / Show Original message-menu action, an inline
  "Translated from <lang> - Show original" chip, and a body swap in
  m.text/m.emote/m.notice that renders the translated text through the
  plain-text path (linkify + emoji) inside a dir=auto span for RTL.
- Auto-translate flips foreign messages whose model is already
  downloaded; first-time downloads keep the manual chip (user gesture).
