Allow account to identify as a bot account #2913

I think it’s important to know when we are interacting with a bot

I’d like to propose that we follow the “Vacation” patterns to indicate an account is a bot. That would include a “bot message” or “bot maintainer” field on the player references. If this is populated then we could include a “computer” symbol next to the username 💻 or maybe a robot symbol 🤖 much like we include an airplane for Vacationing players ✈.

This could then open the door for other options like “sort non bot games to the top of my list” or “do/don’t accept games from bots” or possibly to allow a bot to know its interacting with another bot. Non of those are initial requests but possibilities that this could present.

This is a nice idea, I'm all for it.
