FIX: Chat-settings/member list failed to scroll on IOS/iPadOS

In #36248 and #36253, commits preventing scroll of body on IOS/iPadOS are implem…ented. However, it accidentally limits the scroll of the setting page/member list of the chat, making leaving a PM/fetching the downside of the member list difficult on these devices, since all these elements are not scrollable. Back to the question, we implement a better way to prevent the whole page from scrolling, just set `position: fixed` and `overflow: scroll` rather than using `overflow: hidden` on the body object, and `height: 100%` and `width: 100%` are already implemented, so that the page fits the viewbox. Before the fix(scratch up the page using mouse, but can't reach the leave button / the member page can't load): <img width="449" height="801" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4eb510ca-de6a-44ed-8351-779a6562b42a" /> <img width="454" height="796" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0c861cd6-bde4-49e5-ac5d-2d28aeb5e337" /> After the fix: <img width="1919" height="914" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/44bdf71e-a402-49ff-8a85-49b99e4e1644" /> <img width="1919" height="963" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a6d2b27e-7ea5-4d06-ac43-b16b910c0639" />
