Extremely old Discord messages get bridged as new messages (cherrypick 42wim#2239?) #132

I run a Discord<->Matrix bridge for Principia and sometimes extremely old Discord messages as old as 7 years ago appear on the Matrix side. This has been occurring for some time, only extremely rarely, but is extremely jarring for those on the Matrix side to see random out of context messages from a bygone era.

While looking through the pull requests on the upstream repository led me to find this PR: 42wim#2239 Which seems to be pretty much a fix for the issue we have (the messages have always been with an image or URL in them), though I haven't tested it yet. It does not seem to have been cherrypicked into this fork, so I'm wondering if something similar has also been done in the fork in the meantime that would fix this, or if it could be cherrypicked and merged (verbatim or with appropriate changes) to hopefully fix the issue.

(I haven't kept up with what has been going on with Matterbridge, I've just been using the last version of Matterbridge from 42wim, and I can't seem to be able to compare what the changes are in this fork compared to upstream. Switching from one huge pile of changes to another to try and troubleshoot this kind of thing that only happens once a month on my own is a bit unproductive, so I'm asking here in the hopes someone else here is familiar with the issue)
