Get the exact read date of one of our messages, sent to a private chat with another user.
Can be only done for private outgoing messages not older than appConfig.pm_read_date_expire_period ».
If the peer's userFull.read_dates_private flag is set, we will not be able to fetch the exact read date of messages we send to them, and a USER_PRIVACY_RESTRICTED RPC error will be emitted.

To set userFull.read_dates_private for ourselves invoke account.setGlobalPrivacySettings, setting the settings.hide_read_marks flag.
