slack bridge: Add logic to prevent looping messages.

When using Slack Webhook integration to get messages from Slack to
Zulip, we don't want to send back messages from the Slack integration
bot.

This prevents that by filtering out any messages from the Slack Webhook
bots when sending messages from Zulip to Slack..

Fixes #825.
