feat: add auth flow, pagination, and storage management for NIP-17

Implements proper relay authentication, incremental sync with pagination,
and storage limits to prevent UI clutter and resource exhaustion.

## Auth Flow (NIP-42)

**Problem**: Relays may require NIP-42 AUTH before serving kind 1059 gift wraps.
**Solution**: Send dummy REQ before gift wrap subscription to trigger AUTH.

**Implementation** (gift-wrap.ts):
- `authenticateWithRelays()`: Sends restrictive kind 1059 filter
- Waits up to 10s for EOSE (auth completion indicator)
- Tracks authenticated relays to avoid redundant auth

**Flow**:
```
1. Get DM relays (kind 10050)
2. Send dummy REQ → Relay responds with AUTH challenge
3. Signer auto-responds with AUTH event
4. Wait for EOSE
5. Subscribe to actual gift wraps
```

## Pagination & Incremental Sync

**Problem**: Users may have thousands of gift wraps, causing:
- Slow initial load
- Memory/storage exhaustion
- UI clogged with old conversations

**Solution**: Paginated sync with configurable limits.

**Configuration**:
```typescript
INITIAL_LIMIT: 500        // Max gift wraps on first sync
PAGINATION_SIZE: 100      // Batch size for load more
MAX_STORAGE_DAYS: 90      // Keep 90 days of history
AUTH_TIMEOUT_MS: 10000    // Wait 10s for auth
```

**Initial Sync** (`lastSyncTimestamp === 0`):
- Filter: `since = now - 90 days`, `limit = 500`
- Fetches most recent 500 gift wraps
- Updates `lastSyncTimestamp` after EOSE

**Incremental Sync** (`lastSyncTimestamp > 0`):
- Filter: `since = lastSyncTimestamp`, no limit
- Only fetches new gift wraps since last sync
- Efficient for active users (minimal bandwidth)

**Load Older** (manual pagination):
- `loadOlderGiftWraps()`: Fetches 100 gift wraps before oldest
- Filter: `until = oldestTimestamp`, `since = oldest - 30 days`, `limit = 100`
- User-triggered via "Load Older" button in inbox

## Storage Management

**Automatic Cleanup** (runs after each sync):
- Deletes decryption records older than 90 days
- Deletes unsealed DMs older than 90 days
- Prevents IndexedDB bloat
- Runs via `cleanupOldGiftWraps()`

**Stats Tracking**:
- Added `oldestGiftWrap` / `newestGiftWrap` timestamps
- Shows date range in inbox UI
- Helps users understand storage window

## Inbox UI Updates

**Conversations Pagination**:
- Shows first 50 conversations by default
- "Load More" button shows remaining count
- Header: "Conversations (50 of 120)" when paginated
- Client-side pagination (instant)

**Gift Wrap Loading**:
- "Load Older" button in stats panel
- Fetches older gift wraps from relays
- Shows toast with count loaded
- Disabled during loading (prevents double-fetch)

**Storage Display**:
- Shows date range: "Storage: Jan 1, 2026 - Jan 19, 2026"
- Appears below stats when data exists
- Helps users understand their DM history window

## Flow Summary

**First Time User**:
1. Login → startSync()
2. Authenticate with DM relays (10s)
3. Fetch last 500 gift wraps (last 90 days)
4. Decrypt and store locally
5. Show 50 most recent conversations
6. Clean up any old data

**Active User** (subsequent sessions):
1. Login → startSync()
2. Authenticate (cached if recent)
3. Fetch only new gift wraps since last sync
4. Decrypt new messages
5. Update conversations
6. Clean up old data

**Heavy User** (thousands of DMs):
1. Sees first 50 conversations immediately
2. Clicks "Load More Conversations" → Shows next 50
3. Clicks "Load Older" → Fetches 100 older gift wraps from relays
4. Old messages (>90 days) auto-deleted to save space

## Benefits

✅ **Fast initial sync**: 500 limit prevents slow first load
✅ **Efficient incremental**: Only syncs new messages
✅ **No UI clutter**: Paginated conversations (50 at a time)
✅ **Storage bounded**: 90-day retention window
✅ **Auth compatible**: Works with NIP-42 relay requirements
✅ **User control**: Manual "load older" for history exploration
✅ **Transparent**: Date range shows what's stored locally

## Technical Notes

- Auth flow is non-blocking (10s timeout)
- Failed auth doesn't block sync (best-effort)
- Pagination is additive (page 1 → page 2 → page 3...)
- Cleanup is automatic but gentle (only removes truly old data)
- All timestamps in Unix seconds for consistency
