Add support for emoji reactions in Slack import
Both Slack and Mattermost support emoji reactions to posts and Slack also includes information about those reactions in its export files. So I think it shouldn't be too hard to make it possible to preserve those reactions when performing import from Slack.
Though not always important, there can be many cases when it can be very desirable to keep those reactions and transfer them to Mattermost during migration.

Sometimes people do "emoji votes" in Slack, meaning that the votes on a given proposal are done by adding specific reactions to the post. In such a case, it's very important to preserve those reactions to be able to see the outcome of such a poll.
