Add KeepQuotedReply option for matrix to fix regression (#1823)

Matrix quotes replies and as of matterbridge 1.24.0 we strip those as this causes
issues with bridges support threading and have PreserveThreading enabled.

Introduced via https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/commit/9a8ce9b17e560433731eb5efa3cee7ced0b93605

But if you for example use mattermost or discord with webhooks you'll need to enable
this if you want something that looks like a reply from matrix.
