Title:
  [messaing-app] shouldn't rotate into landscape mode as causes issues
  with compose and main view

Bug description:
  Build r93

  The messaging app rotates to make it easier to type and read messaging threads. However, this causes issues in the compose and main views.
  If you rotate the app into landscape mode on the landing view, there is no way to carry out a bottom edge swipe to compose a new message.
  In the compose view, the landscape mode doesn't show the header. This one is needed, to add ppl to the recipient list.

  Recommendation:  The ideal case is that we would have a custom header
  for landscape views because the current one in portrait mode is too
  large for certain devices. This needs further investigation from
  design and probably SDK. Plus there is still the issue of the bottom
  edge swipe in landscape, which needs to be addressed by Unity.
  Therefor it would be best to remove this feature for the RTM release.
