In WhatsApp coexistence setups (Business App + Cloud API on the same
number), some inbound customer messages arrive from Meta as `type:
unsupported` with error `131060` ("This message is unavailable") and no
content — typically the first message of a Click-to-WhatsApp /
Instagram-ad conversation, or a message synced from a companion device.
Chatwoot was dropping these webhooks entirely, so no contact,
conversation, or message was created. The conversation only surfaced
once an agent replied (via an `smb_message_echoes` event), starting
"headless" with zero customer context.
This change persists a placeholder message for these events so the
contact and conversation are created, and renders it with the dedicated
unsupported-message bubble that points agents to the WhatsApp app —
where the original message is still visible.

## How to reproduce
1. Connect a WhatsApp Cloud (coexistence) inbox.
2. Receive an inbound message that Meta delivers as `type: unsupported`
with error `131060` (e.g. a Click-to-WhatsApp ad message, or a message
handled on a companion/primary device that fails to sync to the API).
3. **Before:** nothing is created — the conversation only appears after
an agent replies, with no record of the customer's first message.
4. **After:** the contact and conversation are created with an incoming
placeholder message rendered as the amber "unsupported" bubble: _"This
message is unsupported. You can view this message on the WhatsApp app."
