fix: remove /start command and handle @botname suffix

Remove /start command as name doesn't match functionality, and fix
command parsing to handle @botname suffix for group chat compatibility.

Changes:
- Remove handle_start function and registration
- Remove /start from help command list
- Remove test_start_command_content test
- Strip @botname suffix from commands (e.g., /help@mybot → help)

Rationale:
- /start command name implies bot initialization, but it was just
  showing help text (duplicate of /help)
- Better to have one clear /help command
- @botname suffix handling needed for group chats

Test:
- 27 tests pass (1 removed, 1 added for @botname handling)
- All existing functionality preserved

-## Bidirectional Commands
-
-Control your trading bot remotely via Telegram commands. The bot not only sends notifications but also accepts commands for real-time control.
-
-### Available Commands
-
-| Command | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| `/start` | Welcome message with quick start guide |
-| `/help` | List all available commands |
-| `/status` | Current trading status (mode, markets, P&L, circuit breaker) |
-| `/positions` | View current holdings grouped by market |
-| `/stop` | Pause all trading operations |
-| `/resume` | Resume trading operations |
-
-### Command Examples
-
-**Check Trading Status**
-```
-You: /status
-
-Bot:
-📊 Trading Status
-
-Mode: PAPER
-Markets: Korea, United States
-Trading: Active
-
-Current P&L: +2.50%
-Circuit Breaker: -3.0%
-```
-
-**View Holdings**
-```
-You: /positions
-
-Bot:
-💼 Current Holdings
-
-🇰🇷 Korea
-• 005930: 10 shares @ 70,000
-• 035420: 5 shares @ 200,000
-
-🇺🇸 Overseas
-• AAPL: 15 shares @ 175
-• TSLA: 8 shares @ 245
-
-Cash: ₩5,000,000
-```
-
-**Pause Trading**
-```
-You: /stop
-
-Bot:
-⏸️ Trading Paused
-
-All trading operations have been suspended.
-Use /resume to restart trading.
-```
-
-**Resume Trading**
-```
-You: /resume
-
-Bot:
-▶️ Trading Resumed
-
-Trading operations have been restarted.
-```
-
-### Security
-
-**Chat ID Verification**
-- Commands are only accepted from the configured `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`
-- Unauthorized users receive no response
-- Command attempts from wrong chat IDs are logged
-
-**Authorization Required**
-- Only the bot owner (chat ID in `.env`) can control trading
-- No way for unauthorized users to discover or use commands
-- All command executions are logged for audit
-
-### Configuration
-
-Add to your `.env` file:
-
-```bash
-# Commands are enabled by default
-TELEGRAM_COMMANDS_ENABLED=true
-
-# Polling interval (seconds) - how often to check for commands
-TELEGRAM_POLLING_INTERVAL=1.0
-```
-
-To disable commands but keep notifications:
-```bash
-TELEGRAM_COMMANDS_ENABLED=false
-```
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. **Long Polling**: Bot checks Telegram API every second for new messages
-2. **Command Parsing**: Messages starting with `/` are parsed as commands
-3. **Authentication**: Chat ID is verified before executing any command
-4. **Execution**: Command handler is called with current bot state
-5. **Response**: Result is sent back via Telegram
-
-### Error Handling
-
-- Command parsing errors → "Unknown command" response
-- API failures → Graceful degradation, error logged
-- Invalid state → Appropriate message (e.g., "Trading is already paused")
-- Trading loop isolation → Command errors never crash trading
-
-### Troubleshooting Commands
-
-**Commands not responding**
-1. Check `TELEGRAM_COMMANDS_ENABLED=true` in `.env`
-2. Verify you started conversation with `/start`
-3. Check logs for command handler errors
-4. Confirm chat ID matches `.env` configuration
-
-**Wrong chat ID**
-- Commands from unauthorized chats are silently ignored
-- Check logs for "unauthorized chat_id" warnings
-
-**Delayed responses**
-- Polling interval is 1 second by default
-- Network latency may add delay
-- Check `TELEGRAM_POLLING_INTERVAL` setting
-
