Adding local-chat to the Messaging section.

local-chat is a TUI chat for everyone on the same WiFi: npx local-chat, pick a nickname, and you are in a lobby with everyone else on the network. Esc twice opens a room browser for private rooms with an optional password. Rooms are discovered by UDP broadcast, and creating one starts a WebSocket relay inside that peer's own process, so there is nothing to host and no IPs to exchange.

On the two criteria the list states: it is actively maintained (v1.0.0, MIT), and it does not wrap another interactive command. It is a full-screen Ink TUI with its own lobby, room browser and room views, scrollback and multi-line input.

Inserted alphabetically between irssi and marchat, matching the section's format (no dash before the description, no trailing period).
