Added simple functionality to open up direct channel and to send a message via direct channel.

👍 Allow slackbot to make DM would be very useful, especially when conversing in user specific/confidential messages. I had a case where I need to automate a task where a user account name and password need to be passed to bot, and this is where DM can come into play.

Curious on the status of this PR, this would be a really nice feature to have. Do we just need unit tests? If that's all it's waiting on for merge I can give it a go.

Thanks, the change LGTM, I'll add the tests later.
