Delete SpamFilterService - remove 184 lines of unused code

SpamFilterService was disabled on Oct 7 because rate limits broke normal
conversation (3 msg capacity, 0.5/sec refill = 1 msg per 2 seconds).

Only the near-duplicate detection was being used, so:
- Deleted SpamFilterService.swift (222 lines)
- Moved near-dup LRU cache inline to ChatViewModel (40 lines)
- Removed unused rate limiter config constants (6 lines)

Net: -184 lines, clearer code, same functionality

Services: 6 → 5 (SpamFilter removed)
Build time: 6.10s (was 6.21s)
Tests: 23/23 passing
