Add a vault for saving whole forwarded posts

Completes TODO #5. Forwarding a post now asks whether to save it whole
or extract its media; sending media directly is unchanged.

Built on forwarding rather than copying file_ids. The bot already has
the post in its private chat with the owner, so it stores message ids
and forwards them back. forwardMessages takes a list and keeps an album
intact, which is what made the caption-plus-album case tractable; ids
must be strictly ascending, so they are sorted on the way out.

- Vault rows live in their own table and every query is scoped to an
  owner_id, so a guessed id cannot reach someone else's saved post.
  Nothing in the vault is searchable inline, moderated or federated,
  and the separate table makes that structural rather than a flag.
- Albums arrive as separate messages with no completion signal, so they
  are buffered by media_group_id behind a 1s debounce and prompt once.
- The add path now takes a list of items, so extracting an album stores
  every piece under one set of keywords instead of asking repeatedly.
- /vault searches keywords and the original caption, since the point of
  a vault is finding something you never got round to tagging.
- Retrieval failures are reported: a message id is a pointer into the
  chat, not a self-contained file_id, so clearing history breaks it.

Three near-identical keyword collectors are now one helper.

### The vault — saving whole posts
Send the bot media directly and it behaves as it always has: it extracts the media and asks for keywords.
**Forward** a post to it instead and it asks what you want:
- **Save whole post** — keeps the post intact in your vault, caption and all. An album stays an album.
- **Extract media** — the existing behaviour, adding the media to your searchable library.
Retrieve saved posts with `/vault [search]`, which matches your keywords and the original caption. Each result has a button to forward it back to you, and one to remove it.
> **Vault posts only come back inside this bot.** Telegram's inline mode cannot forward an existing message, so `@yourbotusername keyword` does not reach the vault. Retrieve the post in the bot chat, then forward it wherever you want.
The vault is per-user and private: it is stored separately from the meme library, every lookup is scoped to its owner, and nothing in it is ever moderated or shared.
Saving stores a pointer to the message in your chat with the bot rather than a copy of the media. If you clear your chat history with the bot, saved posts can no longer be retrieved — the bot tells you when that happens so you can forward them again.
### Making the bot public
Set `PUBLIC_MODE=true` to open the bot to anyone who meets a membership requirement, instead of the `ALLOWED_USERS` list:
