search: Link messages in search results to near view.

Previously clicking on a message in search results opened
the compose box. This was not great, because search views
show messages outside of their context, and replying to a
message without the context of possible more recent
messages sent to that narrow can result in a bad experience.

This commit prevents the composebox from opening on click and instead
moves the user to a near view for the message, and similarly with the
enter keyboard shortcut.

Fixes #21217.
