TelegramBotCommands

[noplanman]

Being able to manipulate the existing commands is something that has been requested quite a few times already.
The main question being: "How can I disable all integrated commands?".
Currently, the easiest solution is to create dummy commands that aren't enabled, and thus aren't available to the bot.

For this reason it would be very helpful to have a dedicated TelegramBotCommands class that handles all things commands (in the same way that TelegramBotLog handles all log related functionality).

This will allow a user to easily add/remove custom or internal commands to their bot.

Let's bring together some ideas how we could make this easy for the users to make use of!

Without delving too deep into how this can be implemented, something like this would be the idea:

// Like the Logger, the Commander is now a singleton with static methods.
TelegramBotCommander::addCustomPath('/path/to/custom/commands');

// Here we pass a callback that returns an array of the available commands.
TelegramBotCommander::filterCommands('command_filter_callback');

// In our callback we can easily choose which custom commands are enabled.

// Example 1: remove 'whoami', 'echo' and 'weather' commands.
function command_filter_callback($commands)
{
  foreach(['whoami', 'echo', 'weather'] as $command) {
    unset($commands[$command]);
  }
  return $commands;
}

// Example 2: only enable 'help' and 'whoami' commands.
function command_filter_callback($commands)
{
  return ['help', 'whoami'];
}

NOTE!: This is just a rough pseudo code example. It will become more complex than this, as we will also have to account for System and Admin commands in some way.

(Maybe we could also implement different user rights, but I think that's for some time in the future)
