Use `@jupyter/chat` as chat UI

This would be the first step of https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-ai/issues/785, before discussing how to use the collaborative chat extension.

Problem

@jupyter/chat package was built mainly by refactoring the code of the jupyter-ai chat component. One of the idea was to be able to use it in jupyter-ai, while providing a chat component for other possible extensions.

The jupyter-ai chat component has evolved since. If we want the migration to be possible, we need to make sure that all the features of jupyter-ai chat are fulfilled by @jupyter/chat.

Proposed Solution

List all the features of jupyter-ai chat and see if and how they can be implemented in @jupyter/chat, to ensure a smooth migration.

Feel free to update the list below.

Awesome job team! Closing since we have already migrated to Jupyter Chat.
