Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, Rocket.Chat doesn't notify at all when someone reacts to your message. However, reactions like a thumbs-up can be just as important as replaying Yes or No to a question. And many of my colleagues use them like this. I only randomly notice it later when I go and check the conversation.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like for reactions to my messages to mark the conversation as unread, just as if someone sent me a message.
Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
