feat: Add support for sending CSAT surveys via templates (Whatsapp Cloud) (#12787)
This PR enables sending CSAT surveys on WhatsApp using approved WhatsApp
message templates, ensuring survey delivery even after the 24-hour
session window.

The system now automatically creates, updates, and monitors WhatsApp
CSAT templates without manual intervention.

/>

#### Why this change

Previously, WhatsApp CSAT messages failed outside the 24-hour customer
window.

With this update:

- CSAT surveys are delivered reliably using WhatsApp templates
- Template creation happens automatically in the background
- Users can modify survey content and recreate templates easily
- Clear UI states show template approval status

#### Test Cases


**1. First-time CSAT setup on WhatsApp inbox**

- Enable CSAT
- Enter message + button text
- Save
- Expected: Template created automatically, UI shows pending state

**2. CSAT toggle without changing text**

- Existing approved template
- Toggle CSAT OFF → ON (no text change)
- Expected: No confirmation alert, no template recreation

**3. Editing only survey rules**

- Modify labels or rule conditions only
- Expected: No confirmation alert, template remains unchanged

**4. Template text change**

- Change survey message or button text
- Save
- Expected:
    - Confirmation dialog shown
    - On confirm → previous template deleted, new one created
    - On cancel → revert to previous values

**5. Language change**

- Change template language (e.g., en → es)
- Expected: Confirmation dialog + new template on confirm

 **6. Sending survey**

- Template approved → always send template
- Template pending → send free-form within 24 hours only
- Template rejected/missing → fallback to free-form (if within window)
- Outside 24 hours & no approved template → activity log only

**7. Non-WhatsApp inbox**

- Enable CSAT for email/web inbox
- Expected: No template logic triggered
