Role Select Menu

[Kardbord]

Add a /role-select command that will function similarly to Probot's "reaction roles" feature.

Requirements

Threshold

• Allow guild admins to issue a command that creates a select menu where members can self-assign roles.
  • Only admins may issue this command.
• Guild admins must be able to specify which roles are available for self-assignment.

Objective

• Associate emojis with roles.
• When issuing the command, specify available roles in a Choices menu unique to the guild rather than making the user specify them manually.
  • This implies the command must be registered as a guild command rather than a global command.
    • the bot should register this command with any guilds it is added to without restarting

41 implements all threshold and objective requirements, minus specifying roles as choices. I ultimately decided against that because it would make role selection more tedious and limit roles per command to 25 or less. Instead, roles can be specified one after another as part of the roles argument, and the bot will simply parse the string. Doing so allows a much higher role limit - 100 or the message character ceiling, whichever comes first.

Making a note of this here since it was a huge PITA to figure out: The bot's role needs to be higher than any roles it attempts to assign to, otherwise you'll get a permissions error.
