feat(mobile): pick a time for the autopilot and see the night on home (#147)

The attach sheet's autopilot now offers "Until a time" with the native
time picker from Expo UI: Android's clock dialog, an iOS wheel in a sheet
with Start. The home list opens with the autopilots that run, wait or
ended within a day, as Today does on web, and each row opens its thread.
The attach and until menus move to the shared action sheet, so Android
pages them instead of dropping buttons past three.
