Handling of site connection issues during outage. #2918

Description

@Senjan21

Currently, under somewhat specific circumstances the bot might result in few Cogs/Extensions not being loaded if site will drop the connection or otherwise will fail to return relevant information to the bot. Most notably the bot will not load filters cog, superstarify, reminders and python_news.

This issue happens with no indication of a failure to moderators as such bot might end up in a state where filters will be disabled and mods will be none the wiser.

The bot should:

  • Alert moderators that such a thing occurred (filters weren't loaded)
  • Potentially try to gracefully handle the issue and try to reconnect / retry later.
