rCOMM112846eaebdd: [lib] introduce useGetAvatarForThread hook

Summary

introduce useGetAvatarForThread hook. When thinking about thread avatars, there are three main thread avatars we need to consider

channels/group chats
private aka the chat with yourself (introduced in D7178)
personal aka 1on1 chat with another user (introduced in D7178)

Another thing we needed to consider when building this hook is that the thread avatar should default the channel thread avatar to their community's avatar, but we do need to should special-case GENESIS and make it an exception (otherwise, all DMs / group chats will default to the GENESIS avatar)

Depends on D7178

Test Plan

Please check out these screenshots to see that the thread avatars are getting defaulted to the community avatar for non-genesis communities, and all chats under genesis are getting a randomly generated thread avatar

Mostly questions

lib/shared/avatar-utils.js
66–73 ↗	(On Diff #23963)	Why aren't we just using `ThreadInfo` or `RawThreadInfo` or `ThreadInfo \| RawThreadInfo` here?
85 ↗	(On Diff #23963)	We will need to call this hook regardless of whether we want to use a thread avatar, so it makes sense that the input is optional. However, I'm not sure it makes sense to return `defaultAnonymousUserEmojiAvatar`... I think it makes sense for the calling component to handle the "default" behavior (Or is this meant as the general-purpose hook for getting an avatar for a thread? If so, why is the input nullable?)
92 ↗	(On Diff #23963)	I wonder if we should also default channels to their community's avatar. If so, we could replace this check with a `thread.containingThreadID` check. For sidebars, `containingThreadID` is the parent. For other chats, it's the containing community.
107 ↗	(On Diff #23963)	Curious if we'll need to handle ENS avatar resolution in two places: here (for your `PRIVATE` thread if you're an ENS user) and the calling component (for `PERSONAL` 1:1 thread, if the other person is an ENS user). Ideally we can avoid having to call the ENS resolution hook twice. This should be possible to avoid if we handle `PERSONAL` here.
110 ↗	(On Diff #23963)	Does `PERSONAL` get handled here or elsewhere?
