msglist: More compact rendering for edit state label.

By moving the edit state label to a Stack, we can render it over the
list of reaction chips. If we stop here, the implementation works in
most of the cases, but there will be an overlap when the reactions take
exactly a full line.

We fix that by adding an invisible copy of the `editStateLabel` widget
to the end of the reaction chips list, that still occupies space during
layout. It forces rewrap at the end of the list and always make space
available for the actual edit state label.
