Subject: [PATCH] fix(telegram): use HTTP Request for editMessageText with
 keyboards

The n8n Telegram node's inlineKeyboard parameter doesn't work reliably
with editMessageText operation. Switched to HTTP Request node calling
Telegram API directly, which properly passes reply_markup.

Changed nodes:
- Send Confirmation Dialog
- Send Stop Result
- Send Expired Message
