Matches the earlier Python -> Go rewrites of the other mautrix-* bridges.

The bridge is now a Go binary with upstream-handled automatic database and
config migration on first start, so in-place upgrades on Postgres should
Just Work for users on the defaults. The lottieconverter sidecar container
is gone (bundled upstream), and the public web-based login endpoint is
gone (login happens inside Matrix now).
Upstream v0.2604.0 has a known bug in the legacy SQLite migration that
can corrupt data. The role detects legacy Python-bridge SQLite databases
(via the `telethon_sessions` table signature) and refuses to upgrade,
pointing users to switch to Postgres (playbook-managed pgloader migration)
or wait for the next upstream release. The guard is isolated in its own
`validate_config_sqlite_legacy_migration_bug.yml` so it can be deleted
cleanly once upstream fixes the bug.
Removed variables (all caught by the deprecation check in
`validate_config.yml` with actionable rename/removal hints): the entire
`_hostname` / `_path_prefix` / `_scheme` / `_public_endpoint` /
`_appservice_public_*` / `_container_labels_public_endpoint_*` /
`_container_http_host_bind_port` family (web login endpoint is gone);
`_bot_token` (old-style relaybot is gone, use the common bridgev2 relay
mode); `_filter_mode` (dropped upstream); `_bridge_login_shared_secret_map*`
(use Appservice Double Puppet); `_username_template`, `_alias_template`,
`_displayname_template` (templates moved under `network:`, new Go-template
syntax, exposed via `_network_displayname_template`); all
`_lottieconverter_*` variables; `_appservice_database` (renamed to
`_appservice_database_uri`).
Added playbook-time validation that catches legacy permission values
(`relaybot`, `puppeting`, `full`) in the fully-merged config (so overrides
via `matrix_mautrix_telegram_configuration_extension_yaml` are caught too),
with a mapping hint in the error message.
Other notes:
- The legacy sqlite->postgres relocation of `{base_path}/mautrix-telegram.db`
to `{data_path}/mautrix-telegram.db` now happens BEFORE the pgloader
migration step, so users who flip to Postgres as part of this upgrade
get their data imported correctly.
- The Ketesa managed-user regex for the telegram namespace is updated to
match both regular IDs and the new `channel-<id>` form used by bridgev2.
- `matrix_playbook_migration_expected_version` bumped to v2026.04.24.0,
with a new breaking-change entry pointing at the CHANGELOG section.

This moves the comments from being just in Jinja,
to actually ending up in the generated `labels` file,
which makes inspection of the final result easier.
Also, some new lines were added here and there to make labels
more legible.
The generated file may still include weird new-lines due to
various `if` statements yielding content or not, but that's not so ugly
anymore - now that we have proper start/end sections that are visible in
the final `labels` file.
