Fixes a schema-drift regression in the Zangi Messenger artifact.

Newer Zangi builds moved message data out of the single ZZANGIMESSAGE table into a ZZMESSAGE table, with per-message sender rows in ZZMESSAGEUSER and attachments in ZZMESSAGEMEDIA. zangi_messages queried only ZZANGIMESSAGE, so on those databases it errored (no such table) and returned no messages. This adds a second query for the new layout, selected per database from the table present, and it returns the same columns as the legacy query so extractions from older app versions keep parsing.

zangi_accounts read ZUSER.ZSTATUS unconditionally and failed (no such column) on a layout that does not have it. It now selects the ZUSER columns that are present and returns a missing one as blank.

The new-layout message, sender, chat-name, media-path and Cocoa timestamp mapping and the ZISRECEIVED direction were field mapped from a private sample. Message type codes without a known mapping are reported as stored.

returned nothing (no such table: ZZANGIMESSAGE) and dropped every
message on those extractions. Adds a second query for the new layout,
selected per database from the table present, producing the same
columns as the legacy query so the older layout keeps parsing.

zangi_accounts read ZUSER.ZSTATUS unconditionally and failed (no such
column) on a layout that lacks it; it now selects the ZUSER columns
present and returns a missing one as NULL.

Message type, direction (ZISRECEIVED) and the Cocoa timestamp mapping
were field mapped from a private sample; no sample data recorded.
