feat(whatsapp): add debounceMs for batching rapid messages (#971)

* feat(whatsapp): add debounceMs for batching rapid messages

Add a `debounceMs` configuration option to WhatsApp channel settings
that batches rapid consecutive messages from the same sender into a
single response. This prevents triggering separate agent runs for
each message when a user sends multiple short messages in quick
succession (e.g., "Hey!", "how are you?", "I was wondering...").

Changes:
- Add `debounceMs` config to WhatsAppConfig and WhatsAppAccountConfig
- Implement message buffering in `monitorWebInbox` with:
  - Map-based buffer keyed by sender (DM) or chat ID (groups)
  - Debounce timer that resets on each new message
  - Message combination with newline separator
  - Single message optimization (no modification if only one message)
- Wire `debounceMs` through account resolution and monitor tuning
- Add UI hints and schema documentation

Usage example:
{
  "channels": {
    "whatsapp": {
      "debounceMs": 5000  // 5 second window
    }
  }
}

Default behavior: `debounceMs: 0` (disabled by default)

Verified: All existing tests pass (3204 tests), TypeScript compilation
succeeds with no errors.

Implemented with assistance from AI coding tools.

Closes #967
