Add ability to broadcast a thread message to the rest of the channel. (#753)

* Add ability to broadcast a thread message to the rest of the channel.

This adds an optional -broadcast parameter to /reply and a /slack
broadcast command.

Also update completions for /reply.

* Change reply argument from -broadcast to -alsochannel, remove
command_broadcast, and change reply to work without the id when in a
thread buffer.

* Clarify documentation of /reply command, and refactor msg logic.

* Fix /help reply display.
