alexei.dolgolyov 67a31b320d Add allowed chat IDs filter to Telegram Commands
New input `allowed_chat_ids` restricts which Telegram chats can trigger
the automation. Leave empty to allow all chats (no filtering).
Useful for security-sensitive commands.

# Telegram Commands Blueprint
This blueprint responds to Telegram bot commands (e.g., /start, /help, /status). Each command can trigger a different callback action and send an optional reply.
## How It Works
1. User sends a command to the Telegram bot (e.g., `/lights_on`)
2. Home Assistant receives `telegram_command` event
3. Blueprint matches command to the configured list
4. Executes the corresponding callback action
5. Optionally sends a reply message
## Command Format
Commands should start with "/" (e.g., `/status`, `/lights_on`, `/arm_alarm`). The bot must be configured to receive these commands.
## Example Configuration
| Commands | Answers |
|----------|---------|
| `/status` | "Status checked" |
| `/lights_on` | "Lights turned on" |
| `/lights_off` | "Lights turned off" |
| `/arm` | "Alarm armed" |
Each command has its own callback action that executes when received.
## Access Control
You can restrict which Telegram chats are allowed to trigger the automation by specifying **Allowed Chat IDs**:
- Leave empty to allow commands from any chat (no filtering)
- Add specific chat IDs to restrict access to those chats only
- Supports user IDs (positive numbers) and group IDs (negative numbers)
This is useful for security-sensitive commands like arming alarms or controlling locks.
