feat: redesign post detail screen with improved layout and action bar

Major redesign of the post detail view with better visual hierarchy,
community branding, and interactive elements. Introduces a new action
bar component for post interactions.

New PostActionBar widget:
- Dedicated action bar for upvote, downvote, share, and comment actions
- Consistent with feed card actions but optimized for detail view
- Haptic feedback on all interactions
- Proper vote state management

Post detail improvements:
- Custom app bar showing community avatar and styled handle
- Better community branding with fallback avatars
- Removed redundant post card display in detail view
- Cleaner layout with post content displayed directly
- Fixed bottom navigation bar spacing issues
- Integrated share functionality with native share sheet

Visual enhancements:
- Styled community handles with color-coded parts (!community@instance)
- Circular community avatars with fallback to first letter
- Improved spacing and padding throughout
- Better error and loading states
