chore(desktop): release v0.17.4

Both right-hand panels used absolute inset-y-0 right-0 and floated on
top of the conversation, hiding the messages directly underneath the
panel and looking unlike Discord's actual layout. Restructure:

* MediaFilesDrawer: drop absolute/z-index/shadow chrome, become a
  static flex column (w-[380px] shrink-0) with a left border. Internal
  layout unchanged.
* GroupInfoPanel: same treatment (w-[320px] shrink-0). Dropped the
  backdrop-blur and slide-up animation that only made sense as a modal.
* ConversationPage: wrap the chat content (voice rail, in-call panel,
  messages list, drag-overlay, input form) in a new
  `flex min-w-0 flex-1 flex-col` chat-column, and make that column a
  sibling of the drawers inside a new `flex flex-1 flex-row` row. The
  conversation header + search bar stay full-width above the row.

Result: opening a drawer narrows the chat column instead of covering
it, matching Discord's behaviour. The chat-column wrapper also carries
the `relative` anchor previously held by the outer wrapper so the
drag-and-drop overlay positions correctly.
