Add a Bugzilla monitoring feature with auto-post to channels #11

Firebot on IRC had a feature where it monitored specific Bugzilla components for new or changed bugs, and posted an update to channels configured for these components. For example, in the Accessibility channel, it would post Bug updates for Firefox/Disability Access + Core/Disability Access APIs +Firefox/Keyboard Navigation. Nowadays, I would also add Firefox Dev Tools/Accessibility Inspector to that list of components. It would be cool if Botzilla had a similar capability, so the team could easily be notified of new bugs, triage them, etc. In the old software, the updates were:

I've seen similar things also on other channels like fx-team.

In addition, it would parse incoming messages for strings like "bug xxxxx" and automatically post the bug URL and summary in response.

Thanks for opening an issue! I imagine this implies that the bot would need to communicate with the Bugzilla instance to do so.

In addition, it would parse incoming messages for strings like "bug xxxxx" and automatically post the bug URL and summary in response.

Good news, this part has already been done and is already enabled.
