The cloud api refuses getFile over 20 MB, so an oversize video or gif never
reached ffmpeg and the bridge blamed the fetch. Six of the nine media
failures in the last month were that; the other three were a dropped read.
- config.local_api() turns TELEGRAM_API_BASE_URL into base_url/base_file_url/
local_mode. Both directions read it, or only one of them migrates.
- in local mode getFile hands back a path on disk and ptb reads it directly,
so there is no 20 MB cap and no http transfer to drop.
- MAX_INGEST_BYTES keeps that from being a way to pull a gigabyte into the
bot's memory; falls back to stat() when the server omits file_size.
- explicit read_timeout: ptb defaults to 5s, which is what "Timed out" was.
one retry covers a dropped read. BadRequest subclasses NetworkError, so it
is re-raised first or an oversize rejection gets re-sent.
- the note now distinguishes too-large from could-not-fetch, and the warning
records which attachment and which message.
