feat(telega-config): guard launcher with a helpful message when telega is missing
Without the guard, both `C-; G' and the dashboard Telegram icon trigger telega's autoload stub directly. When the package isn't installed yet the user sees `Cannot open load file: telega' in `*Messages*' with no hint about what to do. Wrap the launcher in `cj/telega' that checks `featurep' / `locate-library' first. If telega is present, delegate to it. Otherwise signal a `user-error' pointing at `scripts/setup-telega.sh' and the manual `M-x package-install RET telega' fallback. Rebind `C-; G' and the dashboard "g" key + Telegram icon callback to the wrapper. Two new tests in `test-telega-config.el' cover the wrapper paths (absent -> user-error with the recovery hint; present -> delegates to `telega') alongside the updated binding assertion.
