Studio: Add rotation to welcome messages

I am expecting that the rotation mechanism might become more complex in the future so I added it to a separate hook

Should we keep them static once they've loaded and change them only when the user rests the conversation?

I think that's sensible. It definitely feels weird to me for the prompts to change when the window is re-focussed.

@sejas we can cache the rotation once the user opens them for the first time on a specific site. I would like to merged this first if possible so that I can also work on https://github.com/Automattic/dotcom-forge/issues/8982 as some of the code is going to overlap. Can we handle this in a separate PR?
