Enhancement: Secure inspection and evaluation of arbitrary code

[JacobCoffee]

Summary

Utilize a service like Piston to provide the capabilities of running/formatting/evaluating arbitrary code snippets via slash commands or app commands.

Basic Example

• Stand up an instance of Piston - https://github.com/engineer-man/piston
• Install our custom packages
• Set up endpoints to send and retrieve data

Drawbacks and Impact

• Requirement of: https://github.com/JacobCoffee/byte/issues/5

On the topic of "Why Piston?": The only other viable option I have found is https://github.com/python-discord/snekbox but it is limited to Python code. Piston allows for all desired languages (Rust, Swift, Python, etc.) and a lot more
