Provide option to forward Gnus messages with all (most) headers

Bug#67520

* lisp/gnus/gnus-msg.el (gnus-summary-mail-forward): Accept symbolic
prefix to let-bind message-forward-included-headers to nil, which will
include most original message headers in the forwarded copy.
(gnus-summary-post-forward): Corresponding arglist update.
