fix: Calculate length of posts and polls with emojis correctly (#315)
Mastodon counts post lengths by considering emojis to be single
characters, no matter how many unicode code points they are composed of.
So "😜" has length 1.

Pachli was using `String.length`, which considers "😜" as length 2.

Correct the calculation by using a BreakIterator to count the characters
in the string, which treats multi-character emojis as a length 1.

Poll options had a similar problem, exacerbated by the Mastodon web UI
also having the same problem, see
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/28336.

Fix that by creating `MastodonLengthFilter`, an `InputFilter` that does
the right thing for regular text that may contain emojis.

See also https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/4152, which has the fix
for status length but not polls.
