Hi, the `node-red-node-twitter` is not supporting retweets, since it uses [`/statuses/update.json`](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes/blob/96fa500ad663f68d49f456036421994d4ab25cf8/social/twitter/27-twitter.js#L640), and the retweet is done by [`statuses/retweet/:id`](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/tweets/post-and-engage/api-reference/post-statuses-retweet-id).

I want to create a PR to add this support. I think since it is a different interface- it needs only the tweet id to retweet it, I will create a new node for it.

Or maybe the preferred way is to implement it inside the Twitter Out node?

WDYT?
