fix(desktop): show a staging spinner in the edit composer while OS drops upload

The message-edit composer staged dropped OS files asynchronously with no
visible state, so confirming the edit before the upload resolved could send
the message without the gateway-side ref (helix4u review note on #43109).

Add a staging flag: while uploadOsDropRefs is in flight, show a small spinner
pill in the bubble and block submit (disabled send button + submitEdit guard)
so the edit can't outrace the ref insertion. New `attachingFile` i18n string
across en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
