Add fakechat channel plugin (#738)

Localhost web chat UI for testing the channel notification flow.
No tokens, no access control, no third-party service. Serves an
iMessage-style UI on localhost; messages posted there arrive as
channel notifications, replies render in the UI.

Useful for developing against the channel protocol without a live
messaging account.

Ships full source — server.ts runs locally via bun, started by the
.mcp.json command.
