feat(chat): link previews for pasted URLs

Paste an http(s) link in a group's chat and it unfurls into an OpenGraph
card — title, description, site name, and image — the way WhatsApp/Signal/
Slack do it.

The fetch is the node's, never the browser's or the hub's. The browser
cannot: a strict img-src/connect-src and CORS block it, and a direct fetch
would leak every reader's IP to the linked host on each render. The hub must
not touch group content (draft-v6 §2.5). The node already fetches third-party
metadata for the Videos and Music apps, over the same authorised path.

Flow mirrors media_meta_req: the client sends `link_preview_req {url}`, the
node replies `link_preview_resp` with the card fields (or `ok: false`), and
any OG image is stored under its blake3 in the existing media_cache thumb
store — the client then fetches it via the normal file_req path, exactly like
a poster. Nothing durable is added: the card text lives in a bounded in-memory
TTL cache on the node (draft-v6 §2.7 — enrichment on demand, the asking device
caches), and MNP goes 0.11 → 0.12 (additive: an older node logs "unknown type"
and the client shows the bare link).

Because the URL is chosen by a *member* and triggers an outbound request from
the operator's machine, `linkpreview.safe_url` is an SSRF gate: http(s) only,
no credentials, and every resolved address must be globally routable — no
loopback, private, link-local, multicast or reserved range, cloud-metadata
included. Redirects are followed by hand so each hop is re-checked. Residual,
documented in the module: DNS rebinding between the check and connect, closed
properly by pinning the checked IP — a follow-up.

Also fixes a long-standing chat annoyance the preview cards made worse:
opening the Chat tab landed a screen or two above the newest message because
the scroll-to-bottom ran before attachment thumbnails and (now) preview cards
had loaded and grown the content. A ResizeObserver keeps the view pinned to
the bottom through late content growth, and does nothing once the reader
scrolls up.

Tests: test_linkpreview.py (the SSRF gate and the OpenGraph parse, incl.
redirect re-validation and image downscaling) and test_link_preview_request.py
(reply shape, the media_cache image round-trip, the result cache).
