Cancelling with Escape now behaves differently while a cloud message is being held

What

The logic that handles cancelling or interrupting Claude (via Escape or Ctrl-C) now accepts an isCloudMessageHeld flag. When this is set and the input box is empty, pressing Escape is treated similarly to cancelling while something is loading externally, and it affects whether the cancel actually goes through.

Why

This ties into the new handling for messages held back in remote sessions, making sure that cancelling behaves sensibly while a message you sent is still being withheld rather than sent.
