fix(compose): default to quoting below, and focus the body on a reply
The previous commit fixed the cursor within each quote_position branch and the user still saw the old layout, because the branches were already right: what was wrong was the DEFAULT. quote_position shipped as `above`, and the layout asked for is exactly what `below` already produced, a blank line at the top with the quote underneath. So the default flips, along with the fallback for a malformed value and the warning naming it. Nothing needs an Upgrading note: compose has not been released, so no config in the wild sets this. Focus goes to the body whenever To: is already filled, which a Reply and a Forward always are. The form's first widget took it otherwise, so the user had to click into the editor before typing. A New message keeps the default, since an empty To: is genuinely the first thing to fill in. The focus test asserts on the window's focusWidget() rather than on QWidget::hasFocus(): an unshown window is never active, so hasFocus() reads false whatever the code does and would fail against a correct fix. Both directions are mutation-checked, since focusing unconditionally passes the reply case while breaking the new-message one.
