[docs] Message Forwards feature
Add documentation for message forwards.
A message forward gives users the ability to send a snapshot of a message in one channel to another channel.
- snapshots are immutable, and do not receive updates from the original message (unlike replies)
- similar to a REPLY message, a forward is created using a
message_reference
