## 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.
