Post a message on join

Apparently this behavior is allowed, somehow. This would severely reduce the number of non-activated additions, and would allow for making user onboarding easier.

It is not clear if there is a better method for doing this other than enumerating channels and looking for a "general" chat room to post in.

It is also unclear how this would work with private rooms either, unless the API bypasses this somehow (unlikely) or the bot gives itself an admin role (which I'm not keen to). However, it might be necessary for setup purposes, then just revoke admin on the generated role.

Possible plan:

• give role admin
• post in a text channel
• @ mention the server owner
• after setup remove admin permission (may not be worth effort of doing)

Text channel determination order:

• system_channel
• public_updates_channel
• safety_alerts_channel
• attempt to find general channel (by name match)
• oldest channel (get all channels, sort by created_at)

Another possible option available, if the bot has the permission level / role, could be to create a temporary text channel and add the server owner and/or other relevant role users to it and send the setup messages there. Then once setup is complete delete those channels.

We also need access to View Channels ScamGuard currently does not ask for that.

View Channels has been asked for since around near the end of last year now. We can kick all instances of servers that are not activated and gain this permission back when they readd.
