security: validate <delay> 'from' per XEP-0203 §4

Reject client-forged <delay> timestamps in the incoming message handlers. The displayed timestamp was taken from an unfiltered delay scan, so a remote peer could place a message anywhere in history by injecting <delay from='...' stamp='...'>.

- _handle_groupchat: oldest delay from room bare JID -> room domain -> our server domain, else now.
- _handle_muc_private_message / _handle_chat: delay from our server domain -> sender domain, else now.

Add stanza_get_oldest_delay_from(); stanza_get_oldest_delay() delegates with from=NULL. The MAM <forwarded> path stays unfiltered (trusted by construction). The original PR's XEP-0359 <stanza-id> 'by' edits are dropped: master already validates 'by'.
