fix(cron): route Telegram cron deliveries to a dedicated topic via TELEGRAM_CRON_THREAD_ID

Browse Source 
When Telegram topic mode is enabled, cron messages delivered to the bot's
root DM (TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL without a thread id) land in the system
lobby — replies there are rebuffed with the lobby reminder and
reply_to_message_id is dropped, so users cannot interact with the cron
output (#24409).

Add an optional TELEGRAM_CRON_THREAD_ID env var that overrides
TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL_THREAD_ID for cron deliveries only. Operators can
create a "Cron" forum topic in the DM, point this var at its thread id,
and replies to cron messages will land in that topic's existing session
instead of the lobby. The home-channel thread id (used elsewhere, e.g.
restart notifications) is unchanged, and explicit
deliver="telegram:chat:thread" targets continue to win over the env var.

Per the reporter's clarification on 2026-05-13, option (a) (cron-side
route to a dedicated topic + config knob) was chosen.

Fixes #24409

Group chat IDs are negative numbers (e.g., `-1001234567890`). Your personal DM chat ID is the same as your user ID.

### Cron deliveries in topic mode
If you have topic mode enabled in your bot DM, cron messages delivered to the root chat land in the system-only lobby — replying there opens no session and you see the "main chat is reserved for system commands" notice. Create a dedicated forum topic (e.g. `Cron`) and set:
```bash
TELEGRAM_CRON_THREAD_ID=<topic_thread_id>
```
`TELEGRAM_CRON_THREAD_ID` overrides `TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL_THREAD_ID` for cron deliveries only. Replies in that topic continue the topic's existing session.
