fix(chat): stop painting what YouTube removed, and retire the local word filter

TASK 49 is retired (creator ruling): YouTube owns chat moderation. Its blocked-words filter and
hold-for-review run upstream of `liveChatMessages.list` — held messages are never returned
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74511524/) — so a second local list would duplicate a switch
the creator already owns, with a second set of false positives and a second support surface.

What we actually owed the platform, and had wrong:

- The parser added every item to the overlay. A deleted message arrives as a `tombstone` carrying
  no text at all ("it has since been deleted … only liveChatId, type and publishedAt are present" —
  https://developers.google.com/youtube/data/live/reference/rest/v3/liveChatMessages), so every
  deletion rendered as a BLANK chat row. `hasDisplayContent:false` messages and chat-mode events
  did the same.
- Deletion events (`messageDeletedEvent`/`messageRetractedEvent`/`userBannedEvent`) are documented
  but have not been delivered to clients for years (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44346893/),
  so nothing is built on them; they are skipped if they ever arrive.
- Found while testing: Super Chat read `displayString`, but YouTube's field is `amountDisplayString`
  — every amount silently fell back to a recomposed string, which mangles non-dollar locales. The
  model's own comment said this was the reason the field exists.

Test: `ChatModerationParseTests` — tombstone, no-display-content, chat-mode events all produce no
row; a real Super Chat still parses its pre-rendered amount (constraint 4: reward fields are never
reinterpreted).
