UX: Major TeleBot checkout flow improvements

1. Show variants immediately on product page (removed duplicate buy button)
   - Variants now display directly on product details page
   - No intermediate "select variant" button needed
   - Faster checkout flow

2. Add post-purchase prompt (Checkout or Continue Shopping)
   - After adding to basket, shows "What would you like to do next?"
   - Options: View Basket, Checkout, or Continue Shopping
   - Continue Shopping returns to the product page

3. Remove quantity +/- buttons from product details
   - Simplified to single item purchase only
   - Cleaner interface for mobile users

4. Rename "Cart" to "Basket" throughout
   - All user-facing text updated
   - "Add to Cart" → "Add to Basket"
   - "Shopping Cart" → "Shopping Basket"
   - "View Cart" → "View Basket"
   - "Clear Cart" → "Clear Basket"

Technical Changes:
- MenuBuilder.ProductDetailMenu: Now shows variant selection inline
- CallbackHandler: Updated to use ProductDetailMenu for variant updates
- Added PostAddToCartMenu for post-purchase options
- HandleAddToCart/HandleConfirmVariant: Show prompt instead of returning to product
