Looks like usernames can contain ".", we'll need to escape those

For Slack, the RegExp for mentions and direct_mentions does not match if the message uses the valid <@userid|username> syntax. This PR updates the regex so that botkit will emit mention and direct_mention events if the username is included.
Note: usernames can only be in the set [a-z0-9] so there won't be any special characters that could cause problems constructing a regex including usernames. See https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/216360827-Changing-your-username
