If sending a message fails with a 4xx error (indicating that retrying won't help), the message still appears in the message list with a spinner, rather than some form of failure UI.

One reproduction method here (until #3743 is fixed) is to send a message with an empty or whitespace-only topic.

From offline brainstorming: perhaps there should be an optional httpResponse field in Outbox. Items with 4xx codes should be displayed as an ❌; other messages get the spinner.

We could also give httpResponse a special non-numeric "too old to send" value (see discussion on #3734) and retain messages that would have been dropped due to age, instead displaying them with an ❌ as well.

With the potential feature described in zulip/zulip#13626, this case may start arising more often.
