message_row: Replace sender-line margins with grid-coordinated line height.

This expresses the height of the message row without need of
margical margins.

Extending the correct line-height to timestamps also means that
single-line messages will be the height of their combined content
and padding, and not erroneously held open by an oversize 28px
timestamp line-height.

Those corrections mean, too, that .message-time only needs to have
its line-height declared a single place, regardless of context.

collapsed message, or source/edit view). This
line-height also keeps EDITED/MOVED messages
in place, care of their baseline-group participation
within the grid.
That said, 28px is a bit of a magical number.
In theory, this should be 27px. That's the height
of a single-message row without a sender. (See the
calculations for the height of a single-line,
sender-less message row in the message box grid.)
But when shifting into collapsed or source views,
28px is necessary to maintain the vertical alignment
of the EDITED messages, hover controls, and
timestamp. It's possible that this is also due to a
a rounding error, given how --message-box-line-height
