Lower mute thresholds and order warnings before chat replies

- spike_mute: 0.8→0.7, mute: 0.75→0.65 so escalating users get
  timed out after a warning instead of endlessly warned
- Skip debounce on @mentions so sentiment analysis fires immediately
- Chat cog awaits pending sentiment analysis before replying,
  ensuring warnings/mutes appear before the personality response
