[Mobile IM] Zalo bridge (Several APIs) #197

A bridge between Matrix and Zalo. Here is their developer page and documentation. Zalo is a popular mobile instant messenger in Vietnam.

All-in-One Messenger seems to have support for Zalo.

I had a look at the APIs Zalo is offering. As far as I can tell the API doesn't support a lot. One-sided puppeting might be possible though.

Zalo Social API is limited to 20 messages/day (sending messages from app to Zalo, see https://developers.zalo.me/docs/api/social-api/tai-lieu/gui-tin-nhan-toi-ban-be-post-1183) - but there is no way to get messages from Zalo. There is also their Official Account API but it requires an explicit approved account to send messages (see https://developers.zalo.me/docs/api/official-account-api-147), which is able to receive user messages via webhooks (see https://developers.zalo.me/docs/api/official-account-api/webhook/su-kien-nguoi-dung-gui-tin-nhan-post-3720).

All in all I don't think it's reasonable to invest time as their API is too restrictive at the moment.
