docs: add WeChat channel via official Tencent iLink Bot plugin (#52131) (thanks @MonkeyLeeT)

* docs: add WeChat channel via official Tencent iLink Bot plugin

Add WeChat to the README channel lists and setup section.

Uses the official Tencent-published plugin @tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin
which connects via the iLink Bot API (QR code login, long-poll).
Requires WeChat 8.0.70+ with the ClawBot plugin enabled; the plugin
is being rolled out gradually by Tencent.

Covers: setup steps, capabilities (DM-only, media up to 100 MB,
multi-account, pairing authorization, typing indicators, config path),
and the context token restart caveat.

* docs: update WeChat plugin install for v2.0 compatibility

- Add version compatibility note (v2.x requires OpenClaw >= 2026.3.22,
  @legacy tag for older hosts)
- Add plugins.allow step (required since plugins.allow was introduced)

* docs: drop manual plugins.allow/enable steps (handled by plugins install)

* docs: fix multi-account instruction to require explicit --account id

* docs: trim WeChat section to match neighboring channels, fix pairing link

* docs: sync WeChat channel docs
