feat(chat): app-wide inbox listener so messages arrive without opening the chat

Reception only ran inside an open ChatScreen for a known peer, so a first
message from a new peer was invisible: nothing in local storage -> nothing
in the inbox list -> you never opened the chat -> you never subscribed.

Add InboxService: one long-lived NIP-17 inbox subscription for the whole
app (foreground), persisting every incoming message to MessageStore and
firing a 'changes' signal the inbox list live-reloads on. Reconnects when
the network returns; degrades to nothing offline. Started from main when a
social identity exists.

Make MessageStore.append idempotent (dedup by sender+timestamp+text) and
serialized behind a write lock — the global listener and an open chat's own
subscription now write the same conversation concurrently and relays
re-deliver stored gift wraps on every resubscribe. Tests for both.

Known trade-offs (follow-ups): foreground-only (no push yet); each of
InboxService/ChatScreen/MarketScreen opens its own RelayPool (a shared
connection is a later optimization).
