feat: add unread count endpoint and update inbox logic

- Introduced a new API endpoint to fetch unread notification counts, providing both total and recent counts for better tracking.
- Updated the useInbox hook to manage separate states for older and recent unread counts, enhancing user experience with real-time updates.
- Implemented logic to handle marking notifications as read, ensuring accurate count adjustments for both recent and older items.
- Enhanced type definitions in the inbox types to support the new unread count functionality.
