feat: implement basic commands /start and /help (issue #63)

Integrate TelegramCommandHandler into main.py and implement
welcome and help commands.

Changes:
- Import TelegramCommandHandler in main.py
- Initialize command handler and register /start and /help
- Start/stop command handler with proper lifecycle management
- Add tests for command content validation

Features:
- /start: Welcome message with bot introduction
- /help: Complete command reference
- Handlers respond with HTML-formatted messages
- Clean startup/shutdown integration
