Add thread_ts as an optional parameter to use threads as part of the cypress cloud slack integration

[a8trejo]

Hello cypress GHA team!

Asking for an enhancement proposal to the Cypress Github Action,, a great addition as an optional parameter for users of Cypress Cloud who use the slack integration would be thread_ts (another slack message's timestamp ID value to make the new message a reply).

Context: In my company we have a slack channel used for deployment and test notifications (all environments), in order to keep the channel readable and as clean as possible, we would prefer to have the deployment notification as the main slack message, and on the thread include the Cypress slack report.

We're already using Slack's API to know the thread_ts which we would use for the cypress slack alert.

Hello @a8trejo

Thank you for describing your use of Cypress GitHub Action with Cypress Cloud and the Slack integration.

Have you considered if you could use the tag option as this is already available in the Cypress Cloud Slack integration?

I'm not sure if this would meet your needs, but since this feature is already implemented it would be quick to put it into operation.

@MikeMcC399 yeah we're already using that, but you can use tags only to filter slack notifications, I want these notifications, just in a slack thread instead
