rCOMMc8fa18ba6cc5: [native] Change ChatContextProvider position

Summary

This diff changes position of ChatContextProvider. It is necessary, because we use useNavigation hook in markdown-chat-mention.react.js and when we render dummy nodes (which are needed for our virtualised list) we don't have access to NavigationContainer.

Depends on D8846.

Test Plan

Tested if ChatContextProvider is used in:

MessageSearchProvider
RegistrationContextProvider
SQLiteDataHandler
ConnectedStatusBar
ReduxPersistGate
gated:
- LifecycleHandler
- DisconnectedBarVisibilityHandler
- DimensionsUpdater
- ConnectivityUpdater
- ThemeHandler
- OrientationHandler
PersistedStateGate
Socket

and it is not. Also checked locations where we use ChatContext:

native/chat/message-list-container.react.js
native/chat/message-list-types.js
native/chat/message-results-sceen.react.js
native/chat/multimedia/robotext/text-message.react.js
native/chat/sidebar-navigation.js
native/search/message-search.react.js
native/tooltip/tooltip.react.js

All of these files are "inside" RootNavigator. Only chatMessageItemKey from native/chat/utils.js is used in chat-item-height-measurer.react.js but this file is used in chat-context-provider.react.js only.

Can you explain why we need to wrap the Provider in React.memo all of the sudden?
You have some CI errors, please address them.
Can you also add to the test plan checking if methods from ChatContextProvider are not being used in the components that are now not under it? like SQLiteDataHandler, ConnectedStatusBar, whatever is in gated (line 284) etc. Changing the structure like this seems very dangerous, so I'd rather you test it thoroughly.

Can you explain why we need to wrap the Provider in React.memo all of the sudden?

It was discussed during my 1:1 with Ashoat: he suggested that since I want to move this provider, it would also be good to wrap this in React.memo.

You have some CI errors, please address them.

Probably connected with previous diffs where I forgot to add one argument: will run them again when I update test plan.

Can you also add to the test plan checking if methods from ChatContextProvider are not being used in the components that are now not under it? like SQLiteDataHandler, ConnectedStatusBar, whatever is in gated (line 284) etc. Changing the structure like this seems very dangerous, so I'd rather you test it thoroughly.

During my 1:1 with Ashoat, we also discussed potential issues that might arise. While we didn't identify any problems, it's still a good idea to add more information to the test plan.

This looks strange. We were rendering ChatContextProvider quite high in the tree, a couple of levels above navigation. Now, in order to make it accessible in other places, we're placing it within navigation. So it seems we're reducing the number of places where it is accessible. Am I missing something?

I think the reason is that ChatContextProvider renders dummy nodes for height measurement, and now those dummy nodes need navigation state since they might be rendering a link to a chat
