Keep state on restart #1

Affected Components

Discord Bot

Current State

Currently, when the bot crashes or is restarted, it looses all state. This includes knowledge about currently running CTFs, Cookies, ... But worst: Mapping between channels and CTFd challenges. Thus, restarting the bot during CTF is not an option.

Suggestion

Add command that saves all current state information to a JSON file. Also add command that will load this state. In the best case, this should be error resilient and work, even if some channels are deleted / moved. Also, the saving should automatically periodically every few minutes or so.

"fixed" for now. The implementation is super ugly as I rushed it. (But it works)
