Kyle Carberry 6c62d8f5e6 fix(coderd/x/chatd): fix flaky TestAwaitSubagentCompletion/CompletesViaPubsub (#24066)
## Fix flaky TestAwaitSubagentCompletion/CompletesViaPubsub

Fixes coder/internal#1435

### Root Cause

During `createParentChildChats`, the processor publishes notifications
on `ChatStreamNotifyChannel(child.ID)` via PostgreSQL `LISTEN/NOTIFY`.
After `drainInflight()` returns, these stale notifications can still be
buffered in the pgListener's `NotifyChan()`. When
`awaitSubagentCompletion` subscribes and a stale notification is
dispatched between `setChatStatus(Waiting)` and
`insertAssistantMessage`, `checkSubagentCompletion` sees `done=true`
(status is `Waiting`) but returns an empty report because the message
hasn't been committed yet.

### Fix

Swap the order: insert the assistant message **before** transitioning
the status to `Waiting`. This guarantees the report is committed before
the status makes the chat appear complete to `checkSubagentCompletion`.

### Verification

- 50 consecutive runs of the specific test: all pass
- 10 runs of the full `TestAwaitSubagentCompletion` suite: all pass
- 20 runs with `-race`: all pass
