Have bot post a message when it comes online #40

It might be helpful (especially with the introduction of !update) to have the bot send a message in specific channels upon wakeup

Technically possible with on_ready event handler, but in testing I've found that the event handler will trigger multiple times with even slight network connection hiccups. Could get around it by setting a flag so it only prints a message on startup though. I'll see if there's a more elegant solution.
