Gist auto filesharing in help threads

[SquidXTV]

Closes #489.

About

Automatically uploads files in help threads to gist and reply with the link to that gist.
It's easier to read files like that and longer files don't need to be downloaded.

ToDo:

• proper API_KEY
• multiple uploads to one gist

Config changes:

Added gistApiKey to config for file-sharing uploads to gist using GitHub's API.

How to create this key:

GitHub -> Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal Access Token -> Create new token

you can choose note and expiration date yourself, and in scopes select gist:

after that copy your key and add it to your config.json
see also: Create GitHub personal access token

Release

Config changes, added the following:

"gistApiKey": "<your_gist_personal_access_token>"

what about adding a slash command /remove-gist messageId for now?

u need messageId to delete the message
also u need gistId to delete the gist

the messageId is provided in the command
after getting the messageId u can get the message by using MessageChannel.retrieveMessageById(messageId), after getting the Message u can use Message.getButtons() to get all the buttons on that message and from there u can get the Button(linking to the gist) use the Button.getUrl() method to get its url and u can get the id from that, then delete the gist

delete the message after that too if u want to or u can just disable the button, i prefer deleting the message(to keep the chat clutter free)

only sender of file + mods should have rights to use that command?

also u can take message link and get the messageId from it, the reason for using message link over message id can be that for copying message id of a message u need to turn on developer mode on in discord settings, and some new users might not have that turned on so it'll save some time solving the "no copy id button" problem

[Taz03]

only sender of file + mods should have rights to use that command?

yes, tho im not sure about heavy mod or soft mod

[Zabuzard]

soft mod is fine for that

Anyways, I would like to wrap this up as it is for now, get it shipped and then work on deletion in a separate PR, that okay for you @SquidXTV ?

Long-living and big branches can be problematic to mantain, better ship smaller units. And mods can always manually delete gists by logging in to the bot account anyways.
