Summary

In a later diff, we'll need to potentially call an async function to fetch a message from the database in order to determine which message should be the MessagePreview.

The code in chat-selectors.js isn't async, and it would be rather complicated to convert it to be.

Instead, in this diff I move the logic for determining which message to preview to the MessagePreview components that actually render the message.

Depends on D13825

Test Plan

Tested in combination with the rest of the stack:

Make sure membership operations (user joining / leaving) don't appear in MessagePreview
Make sure reactions to the viewer's messages still appear in MessagePreview
Make sure reactions to other user's messages don't appear in MessagePreview
Test fresh login to thread with only one message in the last 14 days, which is a reaction to a non-viewer message. Make sure the reaction initially appears in MessagePreview, but then is replaced after more messages are fetched by the client

lib/hooks/message-hooks.js
17	This function is substantially similar to `getMostRecentMessageInfo` in `chat-selectors.js`, but has one difference which introduces a slight regression which is addressed in the next diff. The difference is that we don't check `isEmptyMediaMessage` here. Since the check is specific to multimedia messages, I add it to `multimedia-message-spec.js` in the next diff.
lib/selectors/chat-selectors.js
