Refactor watch history to use monthly buckets (v3)

Refactors `js/nostr/watchHistory.js` to store and publish watch history items in monthly buckets (`YYYY-MM`) instead of using chunk splitting. Updates storage version to 3, migrates existing data, and simplifies fetch/merge logic to handle monthly records. Removes legacy chunk rebalancing code. Updates tests to verify monthly bucketing behavior.
