This PR adds support for using "direct" as the message type when sending private messages via the Zulip Python API CLI.
Key Changes:
• CLI now accepts "direct" as a valid message type (--type direct).
• Automatically translates "direct" → "private" for servers with API feature level < 174 (older servers).
• Keeps "direct" unchanged for newer servers (feature level ≥ 174).
• Logging updated to show the actual message type being sent.
What does this PR do?
This PR adds support for sending messages using the "direct" message type
in the Zulip CLI. It improves compatibility with new Zulip server versions
(feature level 174+) where "direct" replaces "private".
Why is this needed?
Older versions of the Zulip CLI only supported "private" and "stream" message
types. This update aligns the CLI with Zulip’s modern message API.
How it works
to using "private".
Testing:
• Verified sending messages with "direct" and "private".
• Checked correct fallback for older servers.
