Description

This simple PR makes hovering over a message's time show the full time and date of when it was sent, which helps track messages across time, especially when you are searching or moving around to find some specific messages. This feature is the most useful for compact view users.

It follows the date format set up by the user (Settings → General → Date & Time → Date Format)

Fixes #2699
(accidentally closed #2710 by renaming the branch to give my local branches proper names ~-~ without realizing it automatically closes them on github/cinny)
