Fixes#4153
If the sender of a message in a group chat isn't in your contact list,
they will appear with a ~ prefix in the exported chat. This PR adds
support for parsing such lines.
This PR updates the `message_line_regex` used by `WhatsAppChatLoader` to
support different date-time formats used in WhatsApp chat exports;
resolves#4153.
The new regex handles the following input formats:
```terminal
[05.05.23, 15:48:11] James: Hi here
[11/8/21, 9:41:32 AM] User name: Message 123
1/23/23, 3:19 AM - User 2: Bye!
1/23/23, 3:22_AM - User 1: And let me know if anything changes
```
Tests have been added to verify that the loader works correctly with all
formats.
