- Make sure the connection to the room's chatBoxEditIdChanged signal is made so that the edit box gets filled.
- Make sure the minimum height and preferred width are available to the loader so they can be set and dynamically updated.
BUG: 465934
Update linkpreviewer to minimise the number of resizes.
- There is now a placeholder loading element to hold space while the data is obtained
- The component starts with a set size but can be expanded to see the whole item.
- The expand/contract button is only visible on hover
- The default size is picked to show 3 lines of text (1 heading and 2 description, 2 heading and 1 description, etc)
This is designed to help with the timeline scroll jumping CCBUG: 463235 by minimizing the amount of resizing for items in the timeline.

Update the base item in the timeline container to be a column layout. This means that all the items can be laid out automatically without the need to set lots of manual settings and anchoring.
The overall height calculation for the delegate is vastly simplified (in fact it is removed) which deals with the fact that there were still instances where the manual calculation didn't work e.g. a delegate with a reaction followed by another message from the same user didn't give the correct bottom margin (see below)

This also improves upon the recently changed hover highlight behaviour. The previous patched moved it to cover the avatar as well as the bubble however it also covered the section and reaction when present which didn't look good. The highlight now only covers the avatar and bubble

This also cleans up some of the margins in both bubble and compact to ensure consistency.
