feat: Mark reactions as IMAP-seen in marknoticed_chat() (#6210)

When a reaction notification is shown in the UIs, there's an option "Mark Read", but the UIs are
unaware of reactions message ids, so the UIs just call `marknoticed_chat()` in this case. We don't
want to introduce reactions message ids to the UIs (at least currently), but let's make received
reactions `InFresh` so that the existing `\Seen` flag synchronisation mechanism works for them, and
mark the last fresh hidden incoming message (reaction) in the chat as seen in
`chat::marknoticed_chat()` to trigger emitting `MsgsNoticed` on other devices.

There's a problem though that another device may have more reactions received and not yet seen
notifications are removed from it when handling `MsgsNoticed`, but the same problem already exists
for "usual" messages, so let's not solve it for now.
