v3.4.0 | Logger Rewrite - Part II, Message-Rewrite, ShardManager

We've rewritten major parts of our message handling and sending modules which should improve usability, maintainability, and readability.

The introduction of MessageAction allows to send multiple files in one message and modify
the message before executing the send operation. Additionally it now allows to remove existing embeds using override(true)

event.getChannel().sendMessage("Hello ")
                  .append("World!")
                  .embed(new EmbedBuilder().setDescription("Test").build())
                  .queue( (message) -> message.editMessage("Removed Embed...").override(true).queue() )

With the addition of ShardManager and DefaultShardManagerBuilder you can now use a JDA sharding mechanism for your bot which should decrease the amount of time needed to setup sharding.

ShardManager manager = new DefaultShardManagerBuilder().setToken(MY_TOKEN).addEventListener(new BotListener()).build();
