gtk4-client, when started: signal 'resize' is invalid for instance '0x55a282efbe30' of type 'GtkTextView'

This is the only remaining not-theme-related error on gtk4-client launch.

Without handling of that signal, chat area is not automatically scrolled to a sensible location when it's resized.

Gtk4 does not provide equivalent mechanism (neither another signal, nor a gesture). Attached patch implements the functionality via the idle callback, i.e., we poll if the message area size has changed.
