fix: preserve newlines and formatting in Twilio WhatsApp messages (#13022)
## Description

This PR fixes an issue where Twilio WhatsApp messages were losing
newlines and markdown formatting. The problem had two root causes:

1. Text-based renderers (WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS) were converting
newlines to spaces when processing plain text without markdown list
markers
2. Twilio WhatsApp channels were incorrectly using the plain text
renderer instead of the WhatsApp renderer, stripping all markdown
formatting

The fix updates the markdown rendering system to:
- Preserve newlines by overriding the `softbreak` method in WhatsApp,
Instagram, and PlainText renderers
- Detect Twilio WhatsApp channels (via the `medium` field) and route
them to use the WhatsApp renderer
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing code

## Type of change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality not to work as expected)
- [ ] This change requires a documentation update

## How Has This Been Tested?

Added comprehensive test coverage:
- 3 new tests for newline preservation in WhatsApp, Instagram, and SMS
channels
- 4 new tests for Twilio WhatsApp specific behavior (medium detection,
formatting preservation, backward compatibility)
- All 53 tests passing (up from 50)

Manual testing verified:
- Twilio WhatsApp messages with plain text preserve newlines
- Twilio WhatsApp messages with markdown preserve formatting (bold,
italic, links)
- Regular WhatsApp, Instagram, and SMS channels continue to work
correctly
- Backward compatibility maintained when channel parameter is not
provided
