This commit fixes SFUAnime/Ren#629 , which raises AttributeError when trying to run [p]birthday self set. The root cause is when a user has not had a DM session with the bot before, then dm_channel for that user will return NoneType.
Since the mainFlow helper uses the send method on a channel, we can instead substitute it for a Messageable type, and replace dm_channel with the user itself, and we can still use either the triggering ctx.channel or ctx.author
