fix(forward): warn when forwarding out of an encrypted room into one that is not (#330)

Forwarding from an encrypted room into an unencrypted one posts the text
(and a re-uploaded plaintext attachment) where the server can read it,
with the original author attached, and the dialog said nothing. Show a
note above Send naming the unencrypted destination(s).
