Issue description

Not sure how to phrase the ask here, maybe support a way to create channels on one of the currently Slack-supported methods?

Slack no longer allows for creating user tokens

with bot token getting:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/errbot/backends/slack.py", line 1129, in create
    self._bot.api_call('channels.create', data={'name': self.name})
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/errbot/backends/slack.py", line 333, in api_call
    error=response['error'])
errbot.backends.slack.SlackAPIResponseError: Slack API call to channels.create failed: not_allowed_token_type

Steps to reproduce

Create a classic app with legacy bot token per https://github.com/errbotio/errbot/issues/1402#issuecomment-663332878
Try creating new room with:
```
room = self.query_room("testroom")
room.create()
```
it fails with errbot.backends.slack.SlackAPIResponseError: Slack API call to channels.create failed: not_allowed_token_type

The Slack API has deprecated calls channels.*. A pull request has been created to update errbot to call the new Slack API equivalent functions https://github.com/errbotio/errbot/pull/1438. You could test the PR with your bot token to see if it resolves the issue for you.
