Adds GET /api/sessions/:sessionId/messages/:chatId/history?limit&includeMedia to fetch chat history live from the WhatsApp client, bypassing the local DB. Useful for retrieving messages that arrived before the gateway started. When includeMedia=true, the adapter downloads media (base64) per message that has it. Defaults to text-only for smaller payloads. - Add IWhatsAppEngine.getChatHistory(chatId, limit?, includeMedia?) - Implement in whatsapp-web-js adapter via chat.fetchMessages() - Wire through MessageService and MessageController - Cover with unit tests

Description
Adds a new endpoint to fetch chat history live from the WhatsApp client, bypassing the gateway's local DB. The current
GET /messagesonly returns messages persisted since the gateway started, so historical context for any given chat is unreachable through the API today.GET /api/sessions/:sessionId/messages/:chatId/history?limit=50&includeMedia=falselimit(default 50): max messages to returnincludeMedia(default false): when true, downloads media (base64) for messages that have it. Skipped by default to keep payloads small.Implementation
