[MrPunyapal]

A friend messaged me on Remotes, and we were trying to schedule a meeting. We had to keep exchanging our local times to figure out what worked for both of us.

That made me think it would be useful to show the other person's current local time directly in Remotes.

This PR adds their local time and UTC offset to the conversation header, including the docked chat. It uses the existing timezone setting and only shows the time if the user has opted to share it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Direct-message headers now show a conversation partner’s local time when they’ve opted in and set a timezone, in both expanded and compact views.
  • Updated timezone-setting text to explain that local time is visible on profiles and in direct conversations. If no timezone is set, the browser timezone is used without sharing it. The setting remains off by default.

Good idea, not sure about the UI yet, I'll figure something out 👀

Also still thinking about how to introduce it to groups

This complements #1014 nicely :)

Walkthrough

Direct conversation headers now display a partner’s local time when the partner has enabled the setting and has a timezone. The setting descriptions now state that local time can appear in direct Remotes.

Local-time component and validation resources/js/components/chat/remote-local-time.tsx, tests/Unit/RemoteLocalTime.test.tsx	Adds RemoteLocalTime, which renders LocalTime when the partner has opted in and has a timezone. Tests cover both conditions and the rendered element’s timezone.
Conversation header integration resources/js/components/chat/chat-dock.tsx, resources/js/pages/conversation/index.tsx, resources/js/components/timezone-picker.tsx, KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md	Adds the component to both direct-conversation headers. Updates the setting descriptions to include direct Remotes.
