fix(whatsapp): download documents, audio, and video media from messages (#2978)
Add downloadMediaMessage() calls for documents, audio/voice notes, and
video in bridge.js — previously only images were downloaded, leaving all
other file types inaccessible to the agent.

Handle local file paths from the bridge for DOCUMENT, VOICE, and VIDEO
types in whatsapp.py with proper MIME detection. Inject text content
inline for readable files (.txt, .md, .csv, .json, etc.).

Follow-up fixes applied during salvage:
- Remove unused cache_document_from_bytes import
- Add 100KB size cap on text injection (matches Telegram/Discord/Slack)
- Align injection format with other platforms

Cherry-picked from PR #2818. Also fixes #2856 (bugs 1 & 2).
PR #2865 by ayberkesn fixed the same voice note issue.

"""
WhatsApp platform adapter.
WhatsApp integration is more complex than Telegram/Discord because:
- No official bot API for personal accounts
- Business API requires Meta Business verification
- Most solutions use web-based automation
This adapter supports multiple backends:
1. WhatsApp Business API (requires Meta verification)
2. whatsapp-web.js (via Node.js subprocess) - for personal accounts
3. Baileys (via Node.js subprocess) - alternative for personal accounts
For simplicity, we'll implement a generic interface that can work
with different backends via a bridge pattern.
