Tim Abbott 5191c41799 message_list: Avoid losing place when sending messages. ...

It can be pretty annoying to lose your place when replying to an old
message, even though every other chat application does this. And it
doesn't really buy us much; the user can always scroll down if they
want to, we have a helpful notification about where their message is
(which could be improved), and then we don't need to add some sort of
new complicated logic to avoid marking messages as read unexpectedly,
which the existing logic for this block badly needed.

(It had existing logic of that form dating from the pre-unread counts
pointer era).

Fixes #11462.
