Subject: [PATCH] Admin star on DM message bubbles from admin peers

Extend the admin star to per-message avatars: incoming bubbles from an
admin peer now show the gold star. MessageBubble gains an opt-in adminId
and wraps its avatar img in a non-clipped shell only when the author is an
admin (non-admin bubbles keep the bare <img>). MessageThread passes the
peer pubkey for incoming bubbles; outgoing bubbles are the current user,
whose admin status is already shown on the profile button.
