purge events

[AEnterprise]

Would it be possible for purge events to be added to the gateway? This would be a way for bots to know when a purge is in progress to temporarily pause some functionality such as audit log based kick detection or leave messages.

Purges on small servers usually do not have a big impact, but if a big server purges thousands and thousands of people over several hours. Being able to reliably know when a purge is happening to disable audit log checks or goodbye messages would be a good way to handle large scale purges more gracefully and not spend hours playing catch-up to process 250k leave events.

I'd rather just attach a purge=true to the guild member remove event tbh.

Maybe if over 1k members are going to be purged, emit a GUILD_MEMBER_PURGE event with the count of users purged, and maybe the userids of those users (unless over users are being purged)

This is really needed. Especially now with all servers exposed and forced to have the feature. A server pruning 20k members would tax the bot let alone if its a lot more (which has been the case for me).
A Guild Members Prune event would be ideal and it would be less taxing for both Discord and the bots. No need to even send the Guild Member Remove events regarding these pruned members.
