Changed to use (my) fapi service, along with now having rich embeds #2

It seems that the previous web-scraping fa API-providing service has gone offline, for unknown reasons. It's perfectly possible to re-host it, but I decided to make my own, namely fapi. It provides only what saucebot needs for the time being, but can be extended.

Instead of sending direct image links and relying on discord to detect them and display them as such, saucebot now sends rich embeds, that include information about the author along with the same image as before. It's still getting the image from the same link, so nothing should change.

Also changed the manual "put thing here" message with an environment variable get. Just made more sense.
