Dont group chat messages after certain period of time (#4186)

In this screenshot, the first two messages were sent back-to-back, but
the third message was sent nearly two hours later. Coalescing the
messages doesn't feel right after a certain period of time, as it gives
misleading timestamps on messages. Discord has this feature, but I'm not
sure what the value they use is. I've set the threshold to 5 minutes for
now.

Release Notes:

- Improved the grouping of chat messages from same user. Grouping now
only occurs if the user sends multiple messages, in succession, within a
specified duration of time.
