Ability to reply to specific message #102

In the mobile app one can reply to a specific message. Is this feasible to also implement here?

Currently not possible with signal-cli: https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/213

Sending replies / quotes is now supported by signal-cli (https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/commit/d13d150fe1c6b21dd53617cf7996d2876bc5db58), but not through the dbus interface (yet): https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/875. Using it currently requires launching a new instance of signal-cli for every send. This is not compatible with scli, where signal-cli runs as a background daemon.
