Make Discord badge dynamic

PitaFLAME commented 3 weeks ago

The current discord badge is not dynamic. The numbers are not real, and are hard-coded in. I want to change that so that it updates periodically.

Please accomplish the following:

You have a choice between using a local data file, and a database for this task. Please notate which you end up deciding on in your Pull Request.
You will need to research what APIs are available for Discord servers, or find a way to accomplish this with web scraping. Of course, ask for help if you need assistance with this or ideas.
The style of the Discord invitation should remain the same. Do not touch the styles.
You will need to collect the following values and provide it to the component:
- Number of members online
- Total number of members in the server
You will need to provide these numbers to the component and ensure that they are accurate.
You do not need to refresh the values on this more than once per hour. If you need help setting up cron jobs or scheduled API requests on our side, speak to Pita.

FYI- This component will be shared with the @ASU-CodeDevils/cd-website-devs team to implement on codedevils.org as well. It'll be a good-lookin' component.
