docs: enhance WhatsApp setup instructions and introduce mode selection

Browse source 
Updated the README and messaging documentation to clarify the two modes for WhatsApp integration: 'bot' mode (recommended) and 'self-chat' mode. Improved setup instructions to guide users through the configuration process, including allowlist management and dependency installation. Adjusted CLI commands to reflect these changes and ensure a smoother user experience. Additionally, modified the WhatsApp bridge to support the new mode functionality.
