Always accept handshake initiations even with valid sessions, as the peer must have cleared their session for a good reason (e.g., decryption failure). This prevents deadlock where one peer has no session while the other maintains an invalid one.

This commit improves VoiceOver support by adding descriptive accessibility labels to all icon-only buttons and visual indicators in the app. This ensures users with visual impairments can understand and interact with all UI elements.
Changes made:
- Send message button: Added label "Send message" with context-aware hints
- Navigation buttons: Added "Back to main chat" labels for back arrows
- Favorite stars: Dynamic labels that change between "Add to favorites" and "Remove from favorites"
- Lock icons: Context-aware labels for password protection status
- Signal strength indicators: Descriptive labels (excellent/good/fair/poor) instead of color-only information
- Unread message indicators: Clear labels for envelope and number icons
- People/channel counts: Proper pluralization and descriptive text
- Save/bookmark buttons: Labels indicating retention enable/disable action
Technical details:
- Used .accessibilityLabel() for descriptive text
- Added .accessibilityHint() for additional context where helpful
- Used .accessibilityHidden(true) to hide redundant decorative elements
- All labels are dynamic and update based on current state
This change ensures BitChat meets WCAG accessibility guidelines and provides a better experience for all users.

Critical fixes:
1. Match messages by sender nickname in addition to peer ID (since peer IDs change)
2. Send read receipts to CURRENT peer ID, not old senderPeerID from message
3. Remove requirement for senderPeerID to be non-nil (blocks older messages)
4. Add extensive logging to trace the flow
The core issue was that peer IDs are ephemeral and change between sessions:
- Rick sends message with peer ID A
- Later, Jack connects to Rick who now has peer ID B
- Read receipt needs to be sent to B, not A
- Messages need to be matched by nickname, not just peer ID
- Added delay to ensure messages are loaded before checking

- Added onAppear handler to send read receipts when view loads

- Send read receipts for both 'sent' and 'delivered' status messages
