feat: newsletter support

[zennn08]

Summary:

Add support for newsletter

Changes:

• Add method getNewsletterInfo()
• Add method createNewsLetter()
• Add method getSubscribedNewsletters()
• Add method toggleMuteNewsletter()
• Add method followNewsletter()
• Add method unFollowNewsletter()
• Add method updateNewsletterName()
• Add method updateNewsletterDesc()
• Add method updateNewsletterPicture()
• Add method updateNewsletterReactionSetting()
• Add method removeNewsletterPicture()
• Support to received newsletter message
• Support to send newsletter message (text, image, video, ptt, sticker, edit, delete)
• Add newsletter in MediaGenerationOptions

Note:

To send media to the newsletter, we have to upload the media to the WhatsApp server without encrypting it first.
Newsletter media works mostly the same way as normal media, with a few differences:

• Since it's unencrypted, there's no mediaKey or fileEncSha256 fields.
• There's a handle that needs to be passed in additionalAttributes.

How to send files into channel?, it's not that whatsapp currently can't send files into channels, it can only send media such as voice, video and image, other than that it's just a poll, is it possible?

Cannot send media {documents, audio, video, photos, vn,sticker [only text]) using the sendFile function to the Group

what's wrong, but when using a baileys npm:@whiskeysocket/baileys@latest it works
The downside is that you can't send to channel

@zennn08 I am able to send message on newsletter but messages can be seen only in web.whatsapp.com but not on mobile WhatsApp

anything am I doing wrong?

Web version output

Mobile version output

How can I list all newsletters? I just created one but I don’t know how I get your metadata.
I tried the next and I get a empty array:
const nn = await getSubscribedNewsletters();
console.log("nn", nn);

[ernestoyoofi]

on updates on the WhatsApp update, i found this part, is this part of the profile picture of the channel?
