Fix URL detection and message spacing

- Add URL detection to message formatting with blue color and underline
- Replace List with ScrollView for precise spacing control
- Use minimal vertical padding (1px) between messages
- Remove LazyLinkPreviewView, use LinkPreviewView directly
- URLs now appear highlighted in message text AND show preview below
