community/telegram-desktop: move from testing

Leo requested to merge Leo/aports:telegram-desktop into master

The telegram developers made great progress in making packaging Telegram Desktop a pleasant experience for Alpine Linux.

  • There is now a full tarball available that includes all gitmodules that before were all checked out via tarballs in the source= variable.
  • There is now support deciding whether to use system packages and linking it to the Telegram binary instead of statically linked checked out versions in the source tree.
  • The build system is now cmake, which is much better than the previous GYP meta build-system mess.

Overall the change from the old to the new system reduced Alpine Linux's load by 834 lines.
