Forward only user-typing messages if supported by protocol (#832)

Fixes issue #814.

This is a somewhat hacky way of achieving the required goal but it seems
like this is the least problematic way of getting there.

We might want to redesign some bridge information later such that we
have a standardised way of specifying what is and what isn't supported
by each chat protocol / bridge.
