Description

Currently omnibot always strips and parses incoming events. We should store the raw event on the object, and have a callback config option that allows the raw message to be sent to the backend. Option should likely be: parse, strip_sensitive, raw or something along those lines.

Doing so would allow omnibot to be used as a generic proxy, rather than requiring backend be omnibot-specific.

Research direction

Start by tracing where incoming events are parsed and stripped, then inspect the callback configuration and backend forwarding path. Done means the raw event can be retained and optionally sent to the backend while the existing parsed and stripped behavior remains available.
