fix(facebook): render shared links as fallback attachments (#14554)

Fixes Facebook fallback and shared-post attachments so they render as
clickable links in conversations.

Closes:
- https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/4767
- https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/5327

Why:
Facebook can send shared links as `fallback` attachments with a
top-level `url`, and shared posts as `share` attachments with the URL
under `payload.url`. The current flow either misses the nested URL or
treats `share` as downloadable media, so these messages do not render
correctly.

What changed:
- Store Facebook fallback URLs from either `attachment.url` or
`attachment.payload.url`.
- Treat Facebook `share` attachments as fallback link attachments
instead of downloading them as files.
- Render fallback attachments in the next message bubble UI as clickable
links.

How to test:
1. Connect a Facebook inbox.
2. Send a shared link to the page.
3. Send/share a Facebook post to the page.
4. Open the conversation in Chatwoot.
5. Confirm both messages appear as clickable link bubbles.
