fix(notifications): refresh embedded users when reading notifications

Notifications stored before the acting user was resolved with its full
profile (#2720) were serialized with only id+username, so they kept
rendering the auto-generated username instead of the display name.

Reload every embedded user from the database when reading a user's
notifications, healing already-stored rows at read time. The refresh is
not persisted; a per-page cache fetches each user once.
