- Tab into a link in the hidden part used to scroll the overflow:hidden box
  itself (top cut off, and it stayed that way); focus inside now expands
  the message, and collapsing resets the scroll.
- "Read more" / "Show less" is announced as a toggle (aria-expanded,
  aria-controls); the arrows are aria-hidden.
- The fade is a mask on the content instead of a gradient in a fixed
  surface colour, so there's no band in bubble layout, on highlights or
  over chat backgrounds.
- The cap is 20rem instead of 320px, so a larger font shows as many lines.

Verified headless on a 41-line message with a link on the last line:
aria-expanded false → focusing the link expands it (aria-expanded true,
no clipping); bubble layout fades into the bubble with no band.

Fixes #343
