fix(ui): open the thread of a quoted thread reply from the channel - #3121
A thread reply sent to the channel can quote another thread reply that is only in the thread. Tapping that quote in the channel tried to scroll the channel to it and did nothing, because the quoted reply isn't in the channel.
StreamMessageListView now opens the quoted reply's thread on it, through the same path as "View thread". It does this when the list is a channel and the quoted message has a parentId but wasn't also sent to the channel. Other quotes scroll as before.
A thread opened at one of its replies, from a quote or from "View", now scrolls to that reply once the replies load, even with highlightInitialMessage off. Highlighting it is still opt-in. Android, iOS and RN also open the thread at the reply.
This also enables "user jumps from the channel to a quoted message in a thread" in quoted_reply_test.dart.
Stacked on #3105 (the e2e suite); GitHub retargets it to master once that merges.
Before: after tapping the quote
After: after tapping the quote
Verification
message_list_quoted_thread_reply_test.dart:
tapping a quote of a thread-only reply opens its thread (fails without the fix);
a quote of a reply also sent to the channel doesn't open a thread;
a quote inside a thread doesn't open a thread;
the opened thread shows the quoted reply when it's 20 replies up (fails without the scroll).
The message list, channel and message widget suites pass; only the local macOS goldens fail.
Android emulator against the real backend: in a thread, quoted a thread-only reply with "Also send in Channel", then tapped the quote in the channel. Before, nothing happened. After, the thread opens with the quoted reply in view.
e2e: the test is un-skipped and runs in this PR's E2E workflow.

Walkthrough
The message list now opens a parent thread when a quoted reply exists only in that thread. It can jump to the reply after it loads and cancel that pending jump after a user scroll. Tests cover navigation and deferred scrolling. End-to-end test 12807 is enabled.

Summary
Thread navigation and deferred scrolling packages/stream_chat_flutter/lib/src/message_list_view/message_list_view.dart, packages/stream_chat_flutter/test/src/message_list_view/message_list_quoted_thread_reply_test.dart, e2e_app/integration_test/quoted_reply_test.dart, packages/stream_chat_flutter/CHANGELOG.md
A quoted thread-only reply opens its parent thread when a thread handler is available and the list is not already in a thread. Other quoted-message taps scroll to the quoted message. The thread list waits for the requested reply to load before jumping to it. A non-idle user scroll clears the pending jump. Tests cover routing and deferred scrolling, and end-to-end test 12807 is no longer skipped.

Review comments at
@packages/stream_chat_flutter/lib/src/message_list_view/message_list_view.dart:
- Around line 218-219: Update the onQuotedMessageTap documentation to clarify
that a thread-only reply opens its thread only when threadBuilder or onThreadTap
is set; otherwise, preserve the existing description of scrolling to the message
in the list.
- Line 1346: Update _getOnThreadTap to wrap the widget returned by threadBuilder
in _ThreadHighlightScope when both the widget and threadMessage exist, using the
target message’s ID. Pass the wrapped widget to onThreadTap and preserve the
existing behavior when either is absent.
