Add unread message indicators for rooms (#38)

Shows a dot on rooms with unread messages in the sidebar, updated live
over WebSocket. Reuses the same offline-member audience computation
already used for push notifications: a member gets the real-time signal
whenever they aren't currently connected to that room's channel, which
correctly covers both "room not open" and "room open but tab
backgrounded" (the client leaves a room's channel while hidden).

Persisted server-side via a new room_memberships.last_read_at column so
state survives reload and stays consistent across devices, advanced by
an explicit mark-read call the frontend makes on room-open and on each
live message received while the room is genuinely visible -- gated on a
live visibility check, not a cached ref, so a backgrounded-but-open room
keeps accumulating unread instead of auto-marking-read the instant a
message arrives somewhere it can't be seen.
