Unfurl metadata not removed from a retracted message.

[jcbrand]

Describe the bug

When retracting a message that contains unfurl metadata, the message body gets deleted, but not the metadata.

To Reproduce

Enter discuss@conference.conversejs.org (a MUC that supports unfurls), and send a message containing a link, e.g. a link to a Github issue.

Then retract that message. Recipients see that the message is retracted but they still see the image and other metadata from the Github issue.

Expected behavior
All message data should be removed.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Converse.js version: master

The message template needs to be updated to now show metadata if the message has been retracted, see here:

converse.js/src/shared/chat/templates/message.js

Line 52 in 7355c2c

${ el.model.get('ogp_metadata')?.map(m => {

We'll also need a test to confirm that it works.
