Subject: [PATCH] fix: Add 'Remove from context' button for file read
 operations to handle token limit issues

- Added delete button to file read messages in ChatRow component
- Button appears only for completed file reads (not during streaming)
- Leverages existing deleteMessage infrastructure for proper cleanup
- Removes messages from both UI (clineMessages) and API conversation history
- Added 'removeFromContext' translation key for button tooltip
- Helps users recover from token limit errors by removing large files

Fixes #7559
