feat: support * wildcard in platform allowlists and improve WhatsApp docs
* docs: clarify WhatsApp allowlist behavior and document WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS

- Add WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS and WHATSAPP_DEBUG to env vars reference
- Warn that * is not a wildcard and silently blocks all messages
- Show WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS as optional, not required
- Update troubleshooting with the * trap and debug mode tip
- Fix Security section to mention the allow-all alternative

Prompted by a user report in Discord where WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS=*
caused all incoming messages to be silently dropped at the bridge level.

* feat: support * wildcard in platform allowlists

Follow the precedent set by SIGNAL_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS which already
supports * as an allow-all wildcard.

Bridge (allowlist.js): matchesAllowedUser() now checks for * in the
allowedUsers set before iterating sender aliases.

Gateway (run.py): _is_authorized() checks for * in allowed_ids after
parsing the allowlist. This is generic — works for all platforms, not
just WhatsApp.

Updated docs to document * as a supported value instead of warning
against it. Added WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS and WHATSAPP_DEBUG to
the env vars reference.

Tests: JS allowlist test + 2 Python gateway tests (WhatsApp + Telegram
to verify cross-platform behavior).
