Allow /ban @username in group chats (without replying) #126

Description

@viganogabriele

Currently, per-group bans require replying to the user's message with /ban. This breaks when the bot's auto-moderation deletes the message before an admin can reply — e.g., when a user account continuously posts spam messages that get auto-deleted.

Global ban via /ban_all in bot DM is unreliable for some users, so the per-group fallback is necessary.

Suggested improvement:
Allow /ban @username directly in the group, without requiring a reply to a message.
