Enhancement: Reverse deleting !dormant command message #880

@kosayoda

Description

@kosayoda

The current dormant message reads like this:

This help channel has been marked as dormant, and has been moved into the Help: Dormant category at the bottom of the channel list. It is no longer possible to send messages in this channel until it becomes available again.
<-- snip -->

Thus, there is no way of knowing whether it was manually made dormant, or automatically made dormant due to inactivity.
If a user mentions that a channel was mistakenly made dormant when they were not done with it, it would be nice to see if it's an issue with the bot or a human error.

Updated solution: Reverse the deletion of the message containing the !dormant command. It would be clear at a glance if the channel was made dormant manually or automatically.

Proposed messages: (Relevant sections highlighted)

Automatic invocation:
> This help channel has been marked as dormant due to inactivity, and has been moved into the Help: Dormant category at the bottom of the channel list. It is no longer possible to send messages in this channel until it becomes available again.
<-- snip -->

Manual invocation:
> This help channel has been marked as dormant by staff, and has been moved into the Help: Dormant category at the bottom of the channel list. It is no longer possible to send messages in this channel until it becomes available again.
<-- snip -->
