Add keyboard navigation and jump-to-message modal for long conversations #2360

Description

Long conversations are hard to navigate once they grow past a few turns. Search (Ctrl+F) can find text, but it cannot move between messages or jump to a specific turn in the conversation thread.

This feature should add conversation navigation shortcuts so users can move through messages quickly, including the mac equivalent of Alt+Up/Down (Option+Up/Down) and a jump picker for direct navigation. That makes it much easier to skim, revisit, and compare earlier parts of a chat without losing conversational context.

Google AI Studio implements this using custom scrollbars with clickable markers (for each user message), but displayed markers are only limited to a few messages at a time (updates dynamically on scroll)

GitHub Copilot Chat also allows ArrowUp/Down keyboard navigation to jump across every user message in the conversation history (when the chat area is focused).

Would be cool if we have something similar in PostHog Code - I'm proposing a jump to message modal showing an instant overview of all user messages + keyboard navigation (see #2361)
