compose box: Show error on sending message when not caught up.

Check if we are caught up in the current narrow, and if so, show an
error when trying to send a message asking the user to try again
after some time.

This prevents the user from possibly responding to a very old
message when the messages after it have not been loaded yet - this
can lead to the reply being out of context without the sender
realizing it.

Fixes: #3800
