Show slash command for in_channel integration responses
One subtle different between slack and mattermost around slash commands is that "in_channel" responses in slack also show the initial user and command. I find this helps visibility, especially if the command has arguments - /bitbucket status
vs /bitbucket status project
for example.

I hit this issue when trying to port some IRC-bots: There is *no* way for others in a channel to know who triggered an `in_channel` response with a slash command.
This seems like a serious omission – as it stands, every slash command responding with an in_channel message is basically an invitation to spam the channel without fear of getting easily caught.
