To Reproduce

The 2 functions Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Teams.TeamsInfo.SendMessageToTeamsChannelAsync(ITurnContext turnContext, IActivity activity, string teamsChannelId, MicrosoftAppCredentials credentials, CancellationToken cancellationToken):Task<Tuple<ConversationReference,string>> and Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Teams.TeamsInfo.SendMessageToTeamsChannelAsync(ITurnContext turnContext, IActivity activity, string teamsChannelId, string botAppId, CancellationToken cancellationToken):Task<Tuple<ConversationReference,string>> both set the ConversationParameters.ChannelData to an anonymous class value, but the GetChannelData always assumes this to be a JToken or the exact type needed and Microsoft.Bot.Builder.TelemetryLoggerMiddleware.PopulateAdditionalChannelProperties calls this expecting TeamsChannelData.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Use any of the above 2 methods with telemetry enabled

Also in 4.17.2, and did confirm that copying the functions and changing to ChannelData = new TeamsChannelData{ Channel = new (){ Id = teamsChannelId } } makes the problem go away
