feat(telegram): support auto split large message (#1084)

* feat(telegram): support auto split large message

* fix(telegram): strengthen split_message test assertion

Replace word-by-word contains check with assert_eq! on rejoined chunks,
ensuring split_message preserves content exactly.

send_response is still used (lines 745, 753) so it is intentionally kept.

* fix(telegram): add missing split_message tests and document limitations

- Add test for sentence-boundary splitting
- Add test for hard-cut on pathological input (no spaces)
- Add test for multi-byte character safety (emoji)
- Document CJK sentence punctuation limitation
- Document trim behavior at chunk boundaries

* ci: re-trigger CI with latest changes
