fix(chat): address adversarial review of the send-path change

Four confirmed findings from the review of ef247c9:

1. Persistence regression — the deferred-persist echo (in-memory Sending, written
   only when the async callback resolved) meant a message broadcast on-chain but
   whose callback hadn't fired yet was LOST from history if the app quit/crashed
   in that window. Persist the echo immediately as Sending and UPSERT the final
   status on resolve (new ChatDatabase::upsert with ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, since
   append is INSERT-OR-IGNORE). A stray persisted Sending still loads as Sent.

2. Fee ceiling — dragonxd REJECTS a 0-value tx whose fee exceeds the default
   miners fee (0.0001), and max(getDefaultFee(), 0.0001) can only raise it, so a
   default_fee > 0.0001 broke every chat send. Pin chat to exactly kChatMinFeeDrgx,
   dropping getDefaultFee() from this path (chat always moves 0 value).

3. Lifetime — the resolve callback had no generation guard, so a wallet lock (which
   doesn't disconnect) between submit and callback could resolve against a cleared
   store. Capture chat_session_generation_ and bail on mismatch (both the full-node
   callback and the lite optimistic resolve), matching the identity-fetch pattern.

4. Retry misdirect — Retry on a failed CONTACT REQUEST called sendChatMessage,
   which (no peer key yet) just showed "waiting for reply". Route it to
   sendContactRequestForCid() (refactored out of startChatConversation) so it
   re-sends the request into the SAME conversation.
