Subject: [PATCH] feat: MarkdownV2 for Telegram announcer (#3435)

Set MarkdownV2 as parse mode for Telegram announcer.

This allows for additional formatting in the announcement, such as
`code` or _italic_ sections. For details, see the official [Telegram Bot
API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#markdownv2-style).

If someone has the time (not added in this PR), I think it would be
great to add a field to the Telegram config for the parse mode. This
would allow setting a different parse mode than MarkdownV2, such as
HTML.

This fixes #3431.
