Telegram bot: don't tell a linked member their code expired

Browse Source 
Janie tapped a stale link code, got "That link code is expired or already
used", and immediately below it "Linked to position #34!". Both messages were
accurate — two different codes, the old one tapped first — but back to back
they read as a contradiction, and the expired message sends someone back to
the dashboard to redo something already done.

The bot now checks whether that chat is already linked before reporting a
dead code, and says so plainly: already linked to #34, nothing more to do,
here is what you can type. Only genuinely unlinked members get the
get-a-fresh-code path, and that copy now explains WHY codes die (single-use,
short-lived) and says to use the newest link.

Verified against live data: chat 652806260 -> position #34, so the link was
real and only the message was wrong.
