Add the imbot.command.register Command

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: imbot

Who can execute the method: a user of the application that registered the chat bot

DEPRECATED

The development of this method has been halted. Please use imbot.v2.Command.register.

The imbot.command.register method registers a command for the chat bot.
