Adds a new user preference to control whether the chat view automatically scrolls to the bottom when receiving streamed responses. Changes: - Added 'chat.auto_scroll' preference (default: true) - Added toggle in General Settings screen - Modified Messages.tsx to conditionally use maintainScrollAtEnd - Added translations for all supported languages (EN, ZH-CN, ZH-TW, JA, RU) When disabled, users can freely scroll through messages without being forced to the bottom as new content arrives - preserving the stream output's usefulness for reading as content is generated.

Issue
Fixes #265 - Users reported that for models with low TPS (tokens per second), the auto-scroll makes it impossible to read content as it arrives, defeating the purpose of stream output.
