Make jump-to-latest the same chevron, pointing down
It was a labelled button beside a tool group that collapses with a drawn chevron -- two controls doing the same kind of thing in two visual languages. Now one `Chevron` composable serves both directions, parameterised rather than copied, since a pair that differs by a minus sign drifts and the drift is a bug in exactly one direction. The comment it replaces argued against an arrow here, on the grounds that the list is laid out upside down. That reasoning was about the code: nobody reading the screen knows the list is reversed, and on screen the newest message is at the bottom, which is where this goes. It draws no text, so the name lives in its content description -- the whole of what a screen reader has, and the answer to "what was that arrow for" later. Verified on the emulator: scrolled up, the chevron appears bottom centre matching the group's; tapped, it returns to the newest message and takes itself away.

/**
|
||||
* A chevron, pointing up or down.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Drawn rather than set in a font: a chevron from an icon font is one of the glyphs a system font
|
||||
* may simply not have, and the reader who gets an empty box instead is never the one who wrote it.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* One composable for both directions rather than two that differ by a minus sign -- the pair would
|
||||
* drift, and the drift would be a bug in exactly one direction.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* It draws no label of its own, so every caller owes it a `contentDescription`: this is the whole
|
||||
* of what assistive technology has to go on, and it is also the answer to "what was that arrow
|
||||
* for" six months from now.
