feat: open asset from activities and disable focusing activity text field

[Tumist76]

Description

This PR adds the ability to open assets directly from the activity page when they are mentioned in activities (likes or comments). Previously, users could only view activities but couldn't easily navigate to the actual asset being referenced. They could only manually locate the asset in album view.

Additionally, it disables autofocus on textfield and keyboard appearance on entering the activities page. Decision was made because of two things. First, IMO, it hurts UX - leaving a comment is not the most popular action for user then opening activities view and none of the apps do this. Second, it triggers keyboard after updating activities view on entering asset viewer.

How Has This Been Tested?

• Tapping on activity tiles with associated assets (photos and videos) opens corresponding asset
• Tapping on activity tiles without associated assets (when comment added for the album itself) doesn't do anything
• Asset thumbnails display correctly in activity tiles when activity page is accessed from album page
• Comments and likes are shown only for current asset when activity page is accessed from asset viewer
• TextField is not in focus and keyboard does not appear when activity page is accessed from album view and asset viewer.

@Tumist76 Apologies for not getting back earlier. I was away on a vacation last week and came back yesterday. Between the last update here and now, the app has been migrated to a new timeline which is supposed to be the one where we will be focusing our efforts on. We are reworking all the other pages to work with the new timeline backed by the SQLite database. The text field has been migrated to a new widget named DriftActivityTextField. Can you please help us make the change there as well?

We are also migrating away from using Hooks to Stateful widgets instead. If you could update the ActivityTile, It'd be much appreciated as well.

Any update on this?

I have migrated to the new timeline.

The new timeline already does not show the keyboard when opening the activity page so that has been removed.

Before merging, this could have conflicts with #22894 if it is merged before this PR. that PR changes the signature of AssetViewer.setAsset to include a TimelineType.

@bwees Can we also add back the change to disable the keyboard from automatically opening up when entering the Activities page? The PR from the author had this before the new timeline port

Done!

@bwees Can you help me with the failing actions? Also, we recently merged #23075 in, this should make the pending issues from this PR easier to fix. We don't need to await and clear the current asset notifier anymore since the widgets used from the album and the asset viewer are now different.

The chat-styled activity refactor from #23185 handled this as as part of the other changes in it. Thanks a lot for the PR, and sorry that we had to close it. Please feel free to work on any other issues or enhancements in the app.
