[Feature Request] Add - GET /api/{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId}

[HuangDaHui]

/api/{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId}?downloadMedia=true

If an attachment fails to download, I can obtain the attachment separately without using /api/{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages This will reduce the load on the server

makes sense, we'll check that! Do you use NOWEB, right?

NOWEB is used more, WEBJS is also used, because I think WEBJS can reduce the risk of being blocked But this function is applicable to both NOWEB and WEBJS. If I have this function, I may not actively download attachments anymore. I will only download them when I need to view them.
