fix(account): Telegram display-name falls back to the @username verbatim

When the Telegram first name yields no usable letters, fall back to the @username
taken whole (trimmed + length-capped, never character-stripped like the real name)
rather than a sanitized form; the generated placeholder is reached only when no
username is set. Precedence: real name -> @username (verbatim) -> placeholder.
