fix(ui): Sending read receipt in live timeline uses threaded event id instead

[jmartinesp]

Changes:

• In the live timeline, don't send read receipts for threaded events if hide_thread_events is enabled. EventMeta has now a thread_root_id field so we can know if the event is part of a thread, and TimelineController::latest_event_id filters those out if hide_thread_events is enabled.
  • Why do this instead of just filtering out non visible items? Because reactions, edits, replacements, etc. are also non-visible items that have to be taken into account for the read receipts. So it seems like we have 2 types of 'not visible' items in the timeline, those that aren't visible because we don't want to display them as separate items (aggregations), and those that aren't visible because they shouldn't be displayed at all.
  • Then why not avoid adding the items at all? Because some logic in the SDK depends on the threaded events being added to the remote events in the timeline, even if they aren't displayed because of hide_threaded_events, so some tests were broken.
• Fix test that was consistently failing locally on main - not really related to this PR, but it also made it fail in CI. It looks like a race condition of some kind.
• Modify ffi::Timeline::latest_event_id to use ui::Timeline::latest_event_id, which will return the value from TimelineController::latest_event_id.

Fixes element-hq/element-x-android#5639.

• Public API changes documented in changelogs (optional)
