Feature Request: option to auto explode AckRequests and answers

[krezreb]

While I understand the point of having AckRequests and Acks in chat channels, in certain cases it might be nice to have them auto explode. For example, if I need to track which users signed in, the bot's response with the certificate is enough. Once the bot has given this cert, I really don't care about the Ack messages.

It would be nice for these Ack messages to auto explode. The default could, for example, be 5minutes, and of course be configurable

@krezreb you can set an exploding retention policy on the conversation and the client will respect the policy and apply the default. @mmou we can likely close keybase/go-keybase-chat-bot#68 as a result

Setting the conversation retention policy to is a decent alternative, but perhaps the intention of this request is to be able to retain the Signature_Request and Signature_Response messages, and only explode the AckRequest and Ack messages.

If you set the policy to explode all messages, you can still audit logins by looking at your SSH CA logs at LOG_LOCATION.

deprioritizing until there is a reason why the above suggestion doesn't work
