## Description
Adds the account-level `unread_count_for_filters` feature flag as the
dark-launch gate for filtered sidebar unread counts. This reuses the
deprecated `quoted_email_reply` flag slot, resets the reused bit for
existing accounts, and removes stale defaults so new accounts do not
reference the old flag.
This also adds the feature where we are now calculating the unread counts for built in filters like mentions, participating and unattended along with unread count for saved filters/folders.

## Description
Reverts [#14726](https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/14726)
(\"feat: Add sidebar unread counts for filters (CW-7262)\"), which
shipped in 4.15.0.
After 4.15.0 rolled out to prod the unread-counts-for-filters code path
caused a cascading incident:
- `Counter#ensure_filters_cache!` fires on every `/unread_counts/index`
and `update_last_seen` request.
- On cache miss it calls `Builder#build_filters_for!`, which:
- invokes `store.clear_user_filters!` -> `delete_matching` -> a Redis
`SCAN_each` over a per-user pattern keyspace, and
- runs 4 fresh SQL passes per user (mentions, participating, unattended,
and per-folder `Conversations::FilterService` queries).
- Threads blocked in the SCAN held their DB connections, the connection
pool exhausted, Sidekiq jobs were discarded with
`ActiveJob::DeserializationError: could not obtain a connection from the
pool`, and the enqueued queue blew past 200K.

## Description
Extends the conversation unread-count system so the left sidebar can
show unread badges for Mentions, Participating, Unattended, and saved
conversation folders. Folder badges reuse the existing `custom_filters`
conversation filter semantics, store user-scoped Redis sets lazily, and
skip unsupported folder filters so invalid saved folders continue to
render without a badge. The Unattended badge counts all visible unread
open conversations that match the existing unattended conversation
scope.

[CW-7262](https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7262/unread-counts-for-filters-folders)
## What changed
- Added user-scoped unread-count Redis keys and cache builders for
mentions, participating conversations, unattended conversations, and
saved folder filters.
- Reused `Conversations::FilterService` through a relation-returning
path so folder counts match the folder conversation list behavior.
- Invalidated user filter caches from mention, participant,
custom-filter, and relevant conversation update events.
- Extended the unread-count endpoint payload and sidebar Vuex/sidebar
rendering for the new badge counts, including the Unattended sidebar
item.
- Added Ruby, Enterprise, request, listener, and frontend store coverage
for the new unread-count dimensions.
## Type of change
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Created local validation folders for `john@acme.inc` and confirmed the
unread-count payload includes open, resolved, and high-priority folder
badges while excluding the invalid unsupported folder.
- Added coverage for the Unattended badge rule: all visible unread open
conversations matching `Conversation.unattended`.
- Ran focused unread-count Ruby specs, including service, listener,
request, and Enterprise counter coverage.
- Ran frontend unread-count store specs.
- Ran RuboCop on the touched Ruby files.
- Ran ESLint through the project script; it completed with warnings in
existing unrelated files and no errors.

This API change sets the foundation for an upcoming frontend update, transitioning from a role-based model to a permission-based model. This new approach will determine eligibility for various actions and UI elements based on specific permissions rather than roles, enhancing flexibility and security in user access management.
Addresses: #402
- migrations to split roles and other attributes from users table
- make changes in code to accommodate this change
