Ability to forward a message to another user in Twake. This will use the quote-reply already existing feature and some minor changes in backend to allow viewing a message from an other channel / company(?).

Hello!

1. The number of chats is currently displayed as “$1” despite of the actual number of chats
2. When you forward a link or a forwarded message a chat, the contents of the message aren’t shown at all for the recipient, just a blue bar
3. When forwarding a message to a channel, despite of the content of the message it is always displayed as an empty message
4. When you forward a message to a channel and add a description to the message, it is displayed as a message that only contains the added text
5. When a long message is forwarded, it’s cropped out
6. When you try to open a chat with a person that forwarded you a message, you often get a “Houston we have a problem” page
7. Clicking a forwarded message redirects you to a page saying content is restricted. Thus it is impossible for a recipient to see links, forwarded messages or long messages https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/271994210/9fce560f-5b38-4475-b9ae-3728c5103383/vid_20221026_122515_arzpwfbl.mp4

Should be ready to test again

@RomaricMourgues When you forward a link to the same chat/channel where it was sent, it’s displayed not in preview, but as unclickable text. You can see the source message followed by a forward of it on the 1st screenshot. It looks fine when you forward a link to a different chat/channel though (see the following 2)

There are also several gaps in logic of forwarding a forwarded message (there's no US for this scenario), so I'll make a US and we can get back to it when the design is done :)
