fix(ui): restore full-size quiet marks, tighten the dotted timestamp, drop Boosted

Quiet marks go back to the row's regular text size in bold with 16dp
icons; the hashtag/community soft links lose their 12sp override too
(the smaller tier read as too small). A new TimeAgoStyle.DottedTight
renders "• 5m" without the leading space for rows whose spacedBy
already provides the gap, removing the double space before the
timestamp. The OTS pending pill shrinks to the stamp icon plus an
ellipsis (the words move to the content description). The Boosted mark
is removed entirely — from the Android header, the commons component,
and the desktop feed — since the repost context is already visible.
