Update ChatDocumentHandler so RoomManger is no longer required for saving text

Update `ChatDocumentHandler` so `RoomManger` is no longer required for saving the text in the chatbar between room switches. This is achieved by allowing `ChatDocumentHandler` to get the correct `ChatBarChache` itself rather than having to have it passed from `ChatBar.qml`. This avoids any race conditions.
