This is mostly a stylistic rework of the chatbar but there are some buxfixes / improvements in here as well. The aim was to make the chatbar so it's size was managed in the same manner as the timeline in both bubble and compactmode in the same manner as network/neochat!476.
The other features are:
- Replies, attachments and edits now look like they are inside the chatbar and use a similar styling to edits in message bubbles
- Replies and edits now part of the message so they arte part of the ScrollView and will scroll away when the text is long
- ~~The emoji picker is now a popup so it doesn't mess with the timeline layout when activated~~ (done in network/neochat!697)
- ~~Emoji dialog is now no longer required as the picker itself is a popup now~~ (no longer the case see above)
- The scrollbar now sits on the right of the chatbar actions rather than weirdly to the left
- The action icons will always stay in the same place even as the chatbar gets taller

Scrollbar behaviour before
Scrollbar behaviour after
When sending an image as an attachment, the message you type into the
chat box becomes its caption. However, it's not clear when in the chat
box itself, which confusingly says you're typing a message.
This converts the emoji dialog in the chatbar to be the same popup as for reactions. This includes:
- EmojiPicker and ReactionPicker were already similar and are made identical, as such ReactionPicker no longer needed
- Emoji dialog used for both reactions and chatbar emojis
- Add some parameters to allow for different use cases (include custom emojis and whether selection closes the popup)
I've made few possible fixes for the typing notification getting stuck for long periods of time.
I could use some help testing these to see if they help others too.
For me the typing notification doesn't linger around that long after these changes.
