feat: Show checkpoint button on all subsequent messages instead of creating new checkpoints

- Modified ChatView to track the last checkpoint info
- Updated ChatRow to display checkpoint UI on all messages after a checkpoint
- Created ChatRowWithCheckpoint wrapper component to handle checkpoint display logic
- Removed rendering of checkpoint_saved messages themselves

This change improves the UI by showing a persistent checkpoint button on all messages after a checkpoint is created, rather than creating new checkpoint messages after each interaction.
