Modify /status/update requests to include in_reply_to_status_id

The Twitter API now includes the ability to 
specify "in_reply_to_status_id" as a parameter for the /status/update POST 
request (i.e., in much the same way that you can specify "source" to 
indicate which Twitter client you're using).  Twitter will parse all 
messages with this parameter as a reply to someone, even if the message 
does not start with @username.

This should lead to the ability to step backwards in a conversation thread 
or some other nifty UX design.  But, for now, we should just include 
the "in_reply_to_status_id" parameter when replying to a tweet.
