Add additional event for data when processing commands #37

Cabal Desktop needs to do some cleanup after a /command happens. This adds an extra "command" event that contains what command was typed, the args that were typed, and any relevant data that was generated from it.

Do we need a new res.data() method for this? I made res.info() so that you can pass supplementary information along with the text message:

res.info({
  text: 'this message gets displayed by clients',
  someExtra: ['data'],
  whatever: 'you want goes here'
})

Would that work? It also looks like it would be better if there is always a "command" event that happens when a command gets interpreted, instead of each command individually needing to emit a "command" event.
