Setting to show a bot's replies to bot messages inline (not folded) in its 1:1 chat #1639

Description

@meleesciony

#1489 folds every reply a woken bot writes under the "Message from X" chip in its 1:1 chat. That fits a bot that merely acknowledges, but not an "editor" bot whose whole job is to receive other bots' reports and post them to the user: with the fold, every report is hidden behind a chevron and the user sees only a column of chips. message-visibility.ts itself calls this text "a delegating bot's summary to the user".

Ask: a per-bot (or per-chat) setting — "replies to bot messages are for me" — that keeps those replies inline at their own position, on web and mobile. The default can stay folded.

Expanding by default is not enough: expandPeerReplies draws the folded replies right after the chip, not at their own place, so a run that received two bot messages, or had a user line in between, shows out of order.

Repro: two bots, A and B. B's routine messages A with a report; A's instructions say to post what it receives to the user. After #1489 the user's chat with A shows only "Message from B >"; the report is under the chevron.
