Wrap each Telegram initialize() attempt in asyncio.wait_for(HERMES_TELEGRAM_INIT_TIMEOUT,
default 30s). When api.telegram.org and all fallback IPs are unreachable, the connect
chain has no outer bound, so a single initialize() blocks for minutes and the
retry-on-exception loop never fires — the gateway appears to hang after the banner.
The timeout guarantees each attempt is bounded, then retries with backoff, then fails
with an actionable error. Also adds WARNING-level progress logs before DoH discovery
and each connect attempt (visible at default log level).
Salvaged onto plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py (Telegram moved from
gateway/platforms/ since the PR was opened). Adds env var to docs + AUTHOR_MAP.
