fix(tgbot): treat messages sent on behalf of a chat as strangers

Telegram fills a message's From with one of three fixed placeholder
users whenever it is posted on behalf of a chat, by an anonymous group
admin or a channel. The level gate and the invite claim took that
placeholder for the account acting, so it got a throttle window of its
own, and a claim bound the client to an id every anonymous admin shares.

Such a message is rated as a stranger whatever the placeholder id is
bound to, and its invite claim is refused before it is counted or bound.
