Subject: [PATCH] Explicitly enable spellcheck on chat message textareas (#34)

Browsers already spellcheck a plain <textarea> by default (confirmed
in-browser: spellcheck read true on the composer with nothing
disabling it), but that's an implicit default rather than a guarantee
across every browser/PWA context. Set spellCheck explicitly on both
the composer and the message-edit textarea so it can't silently be
off somewhere it wasn't verified.
