Actual: only personal messages are logged. Expected: groupchats are logged too.

@pmarrapese have you started implementing it or are you going to implement it this week? I had been going to write a logger from scratch but was lucky to find this project. If you are busy now I would try to add this feature myself and send a PR. Was there any difficulties with group chats or they are not supported yet just because group chats usually have a lot of history and downloading them all will extend logging time a lot?

@bodqhrohro Thanks for your interest in the project! I don't plan on writing in any enhancements for the time being, so if you want to take a stab at this you're more than welcome to.

Indeed, my primary concern for this is group chats tend to have a massive history and Telegram limits the amount of messages that may be downloaded in a single request to 100. Additionally, the rate limit must be taken into consideration which further slows things down. I've found about ~500ms between requests seems to be reasonable for avoiding the rate limit.
