feat(Telegram): Add Remove birthday input message patch

[Shoggomo]

When opening the app the user is frequently asked about their birthday. Dismissing this hiddes the message for around a day. This patch hides the message indefinitely.

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

'Hide' is the typical wording used. It's more than just the message, it's hiding the prompt.

Maybe name this Hide birthday prompt

This seemed to work, but inconsistently. I need to check into this more thoroughly.

Maybe patching check() to return-void work? I'm still new to this so I might be wrong

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Try it. Look promising.

I'm not able to check right now but I can provide the fingerprint and code here if that would help @Shoggomo

I'm 100% sure the fingerprint is correct, but the bytecode patch needs to be tested...

Edit: corrected the code as LisoUseInAIKyrios said below

Fingerprints.kt

package app.revanced.patches.telegram.birthday

import app.revanced.patcher.fingerprint
import com.android.tools.smali.dexlib2.AccessFlags

internal val birthdayCheckFingerprint = fingerprint {
    accessFlags(AccessFlags.PUBLIC)
    returns("V")
    custom { method, classDef -> 
        method.name == "check" && classDef.contains("BirthdayController")
    }
}

HideBirthdayCheck.kt

package app.revanced.patches.telegram.birthday

import app.revanced.patcher.patch.bytecodePatch

@Suppress("unused")
val hideBirthdayCheck = bytecodePatch(
    name = "Hide Birthday Check"
) {
    compatibleWith("org.telegram.messenger")

    execute {
        birthdayCheckFingerprint.method.returnEarly()
    }
}

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Can't return true a void method.

That should be birthdayCheckFingerprint.method.returnEarly()

I think I was a bit fast on this one. The BirthdayController seems to be for showing other peoples' birthdays, not hiding the message to input your own.
I think this is the section showing the correct message. This if needs to run its else section, but I'm not sure how to enforce this and keep it future-proof. I'll test it first in the next couple days.

Also support for telegram web would be nice:
org.telegram.messenger.web
Some users prefer using web version instead Playstore

The telegram app is open source. You can use that to find the patch location.
