Tdesktop: Please add feature to leave groups without delete history

[Croydon]

Steps to reproduce

1. Be in a group with messages/history
2. Leave it
3. Notice that the history is gone, since there is only a "delete and exit" feature

Expected behaviour

Add a exit group feature WITHOUT deleting the history

Configuration

Operating system: Windows

Version of Telegram Desktop: 1.5.15

[Croydon]

As a temporary workaround: The Android "Plus Messenger" allows to do this. The history stays in the Telegram cloud and is accessible with all Telegram clients afterwards.

Turn the group into a supergroup.

@Edicksonjga leaving/being removed from a supergroup deletes its history

Hi! This is my generic reply for every issue which is still relevant and is on the edge of getting closed by a stale bot.
