Broadcast bot: parity with official simplex-broadcast-bot

Relay publishers' text/links to all contacts via the native /feed command
(reports 'Forwarded to N contact(s), M errors'); reply to non-publishers with
the prohibited message and internally delete their message (CIDMInternal, as
upstream does). Filter content to text/links. Publishers accept 'Name' or
'ID:Name'; welcome/prohibited defaults list the publishers. Add publishers +
prohibited-reply fields to the create form. Adds broadcast_test.py (3 in-process
controllers: bot + publisher + subscriber) — passes.

"""End-to-end test of the broadcast bot (Pattern 3, in-process FFI).
Runs the real bot via profiles.start_bot, connects a publisher ("pub") and a
non-publisher ("sub") to it, then checks:
- a publisher's message is broadcast to all contacts (sub receives it)
- a non-publisher's message gets the prohibited reply and is deleted
Uses three libsimplex controllers in one process (bot + pub + sub) — exactly the
multi-controller model the manager relies on. Needs network (SMP).
Run: .venv/bin/python broadcast_test.py
