Consolidate message deduplication into shared MessageDeduplicator

- Extend MessageDeduplicator with configurable maxAge/maxCount params
- Add timestampFor() method for content key time-window checks
- Add record() method to store entries with specific timestamps
- Replace ChatViewModel's custom contentLRU implementation with MessageDeduplicator
- Remove ~35 lines of duplicate LRU code from ChatViewModel

This consolidates 2 separate deduplication implementations into one
reusable, thread-safe component.
