fix(BATON-007): add validate_bot_token() for startup detection and fix test mocks

- Add validate_bot_token() to backend/telegram.py: calls getMe on startup,
  logs ERROR if token is invalid (never raises per #1215 contract)
- Call validate_bot_token() in lifespan() after db.init_db() for early detection
- Update conftest.py make_app_client() to mock getMe endpoint
- Add 3 tests for validate_bot_token (200, 401, network error cases)

Root cause: CHAT_ID=5190015988 (positive) was wrong — fixed to -5190015988
on server per decision #1212. Group "Big Red Button" confirmed via getChat.
Service restarted.
