Description

In https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/19812 / https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/21201, we organize the left sidebar of the webapp into three labeled sections: Pinned, Active and Inactive streams. Muted streams are sorted at the bottom of their section. These changes make it easier for users to understand the ordering and find the stream they are looking for.

We should do the same in the mobile app, i.e. add names for the sections, and make the ordering match the new ordering in the webapp. (The PR above is currently test-deployed on CZO, and is expected to be merged into main soon.)
