android, desktop, ios: change only the progress indicator timeout

Reverts the shared helper the timeout change was extracted into, leaving the
effect where each view already had it. NewChatView and ViewModifiers are no
longer touched by this branch at all - the first was already at 0.5s.

-The effect behind it was copied into 5 Kotlin and 4 Swift views; it is now one helper per platform,
-which is also what makes the threshold a single constant. Two of the Swift copies had drifted — the
-deferred write captured the value that started the delay rather than reading the current one, so an
-operation that finished before the delay elapsed left the indicator on with nothing to turn it off.
+Accepting a request or joining a group usually takes longer than 1s, so the button looked inert for
+a second before anything acknowledged the tap - which is what prompts a second tap. The threshold is
+per view; extracting the effect the views share was considered and left out, to keep the change to
+the timing.
