This is needed for discord to show the command lit when you type / It needs to be rerun whenever the signature of commands changes.

Migrate from !prefix based commands to the newer discord slash commands. This has the following benefits:
Removes the need for help commands, since the signature is described while the user is entering the command
Removes the need for some of the param-checking (e.g. discord won't let you send a command with a missing argument)
Reduces bot-spam for users since only the response shows up as a notification, and some responses (mostly failed) are ephemeral (and only appear to the user who sent the command originally)
This PR also improves the error handling a bit, removing a lot of the duplicate per-command code by moving most of the error handling to be cog-wide instead of per-command.
(The diff is quite large, let me know if I should break it down, and/or invite you to a server so you can test it)
