* MM-68952: Resolve public channel mentions for non-members under Compliance

Channel mention name resolution reused HasPermissionToReadChannel, a
content-read check that returns false for non-members of a public channel
when Compliance Monitoring is enabled (MM-45272) or when the channel is on
another team (MM-66791). As a result, the channel_mentions post prop was
stripped per-viewer (since #34235), and the webapp fell back to rendering the
raw (anonymized) channel slug instead of a clickable link.

Introduce HasPermissionToResolveChannelMention, which exposes only a public
channel display name and link (not content) and is therefore independent of
ComplianceSettings, while still requiring team membership for public channels
(blocks cross-team disclosure) and channel membership for private/DM/GM
channels. Switch the three mention call sites (FillInPostProps,
sanitizeChannelMentionsForUser, channelMentionsBroadcastHook) to the new
helper. HasPermissionToReadChannel and all content-read paths are unchanged.

* MM-68952: Add author-side and E2E coverage for channel mention resolution

Add a Go test (TestFillInPostPropsChannelMentionResolution) that exercises the
author-side persistence of the channel_mentions prop in FillInPostProps. It
locks in the new behavior: an author who is a team member but not a member of a
referenced public channel now persists the mention prop even when Compliance
Monitoring is enabled, while public channels on other teams and private
channels the author is not in are still dropped.

Add a Playwright spec (channel_mention_resolution.spec.ts) with a license-free
cross-team case (a public channel mention stays unresolved for a viewer not on
the channel's team) and a license-gated case (with Compliance enabled, a team
member who is not in the channel sees the resolved mention link).

* MM-68952: Tighten channel mention test assertions and fix lint

Use strings.Builder when assembling the test message to avoid the
golangci-lint stringsbuilder (modernize) warning about string += string
in a loop. Tighten the cross-team public and private non-member cases to
assert.Nil on the resolved mentions so the contract requires no persisted
channel_mentions map rather than merely an empty one.
