Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

I'd like to have a "recently used" page for the emoji selection dialog that is shown when reacting on a message.

#### Why would you like to do it?

Currently, one can select reaction emojis from a non-changeable preset list or select one from all emojis. It's really cumbersome to find emojis not being in that list.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

By storing the recently used emojis and displaying them on a "recently used" page, as found in other apps (e.g. Signal).

### Have you considered any alternatives?

There's no viable alternative imo.

### Additional context

_No response_

### Are you willing to provide a PR?

No
