feat(chat): Implement client-side end-to-end encryption with key management

- Add chat keys API endpoint for storing and retrieving encrypted RSA public/private key pairs
- Create client-side crypto utilities for E2E encryption/decryption with hybrid encryption support
- Implement useChatEncryption hook for managing encryption state and key generation in chat UI
- Add chatPublicKey and chatPrivateKeyEncrypted fields to user schema for key storage
- Update chat messages API to return encrypted content with sender's public key for decryption
- Modify send message endpoint to accept pre-encrypted content from client while maintaining legacy server-side encryption
- Update chat page UI to integrate client-side encryption workflow
- Ensure private keys are encrypted client-side with user password before transmission to server
- Server cannot decrypt message content in E2E mode, providing true end-to-end encryption
