Clients may discourage users from forwarding encrypted messages to unencrypted
rooms, as that would leak the message content to the servers.
If a forwarded event contains relation metadata such as a reply, clients should
not display it to users. This behavior is consistent with other platforms (e.g.
Telegram and WhatsApp) and removes any problems if some users can't get the
relation target event. The existence of reply metadata may still be used to
remove reply fallbacks.
## Potential issues
* This is not as simple as MSC2723 and requires server support.
* Events with bogus data in `m.forwarded` can't be forwarded.
