Add ability for Lisa to periodically save Slack emojis to a backup location #72

Every year or so someone seems to want a backup of all the slack emojis for use in their own servers. We add emojis fairly regularly.

Currently you must make a dummy app. Add it to the server to get a token to download the emojis. This is a pain and we have to do separately each time they want it done. And it takes an app slot.

Since Lisa already has a token the thought was why not just have her do this as a side action. (An action she preforms as part of another request).

Details that need worked out: Where to save them How often to save them How to know how long since the last save.

An example of the current ruby script to grab emojis is here
