Description
in Telegram nothing is shown in-chat when someone joins a channel, you see the subscribers counter in the title bar, and can see the member list in the chat profile
currently in Delta Chat we are adding an info-message every time someone joins, this results in the chat looking like this:
for an start, these messages look a bit clumsy / not idiomatic, "foo joined the channel" would be more appropriate, but it would be better to just not add such events as in-chat info-messages for channels, they just clutter the chat timeline, better do like Telegram

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the channel-member-join event handling in the Rust core and compare it with ordinary group chats; done means channel joins no longer create in-chat info-messages while other chat behavior remains unchanged.
