Google Chat: Support inline replies
What does this MR do and why?
Support spaces with inline replies by setting the messageReplyOption
query parameter to REPLY_MESSAGE_FALLBACK_TO_NEW_THREAD, indicating that
messages should be created as replies to the specified threads. The
default value, MESSAGE_REPLY_OPTION_UNSPECIFIED, always starts a new
thread
This commit also specifies the thread key in the request body instead of
via the deprecated threadKey query parameter
