fix(messaging): hold general outbound on ambiguous send failures

Apply the connect-invite at-most-once pattern to mirrored DMs, group
posts, channel invites, and intros. Provider send errors now keep the
outbox row claimed as sent without a handle instead of reverting to
pending and risking duplicate delivery.

Pre-send setup failures (thread resolution) still retry with backoff.
Pass outbox idempotency keys through to sendToThread for future provider
dedupe.
