Renamed send_telegram_media_group to send_telegram_notification with expanded capabilities:
- Text messages (when urls is empty)
- Single photo/video (uses sendPhoto/sendVideo APIs)
- Media groups (uses sendMediaGroup API)
- Automatic chunking for unlimited media URLs
- Smart optimization: single-item chunks use appropriate single-item APIs
New parameters:
- max_group_size (2-10, default 10): control items per media group
- chunk_delay (0-60000ms, default 0): delay between chunks for rate limiting
- disable_web_page_preview: disable link previews in text messages
The service now intelligently selects the most efficient Telegram API endpoint based on content type and chunk size, with comprehensive error handling and logging.
