Adds the types and methods for Telegram's Managed Bots feature, introduced in Bot API 9.6 (April 2026): a bot with can_manage_bots can create and control other bots via its own Bot API token, without BotFather's manual /newbot flow or a separate credential per bot. - User.CanManageBots (getMe) - Update.ManagedBot / ManagedBotUpdated (creation, token update, or owner update of a managed bot) - Message.ManagedBotCreated / ManagedBotCreated (service message for bot creation) - BotAPI.GetManagedBotToken(userID) — fetch a managed bot's current token - BotAPI.ReplaceManagedBotToken(userID) — rotate a managed bot's token Doesn't add KeyboardButtonRequestManagedBot or savePreparedKeyboardButton (the Mini App integration half of the same API bump) — happy to extend this PR or follow up separately if there's interest.
