rafaelreis-r efe7eca726 docs: clarify routing.allowFrom and self-chat mode for group mentions
- Add new section explaining self-chat mode for group control
- Document routing.allowFrom as the key setting for controlling metadata mentions
- Clarify difference between whatsapp.allowFrom (DM allowlist) and routing.allowFrom (self-chat mode)
- Explain metadata mentions vs text patterns in routing.groupChat
- Add example config for responding only to specific text triggers

When routing.allowFrom contains the bot's own number, WhatsApp native
@-mentions are ignored in groups, and only mentionPatterns trigger responses.
This prevents unwanted responses when users tap-to-mention the bot owner.
