Enhancement: Link GitHub items

[JacobCoffee]

Summary

Auto-link GitHub issues, PRs, discussions, etc. when a user provides a referencable link to one.

Exactly what the great Monty Python bot does, just so we can do it for extra features/learning 😄

Should put our own spin on it:

• I would like admins to be able to expand/collapse embeds instead of only the author
• Maybe we can have a button that also is "Update issue/PR/Discussion" and it POSTs a link as the Byte GitHub bot to the discord forum/message link so others can see what was talked about

Basic Example

1. User posts "hello i made Bug: File upload example doesn't work with Swagger litestar-org/litestar#2628"
2. Byte replies with embed of this

Drawbacks and Impact

• If we stick hard into GitHub only, we won't be able to easily refactor later for Gitlab, and I'd also like to do PEPs and discuss.python.org posts/comments

Unresolved questions

Requires per-guild configuration as repositories are unique across servers
