This is the initial implementation - it's currently _far_ from perfect
and is very susceptible to errors.

Notable features beyond the basic requirements:

- Fails safely when max mentions reached (we're limited by the
  2000-character limit when sending the reminder with the pings), and
  disables the button.

- Adds an additional embed to the initial confirmation message to show
  who clicked on the notify button.

- Edits the additional embed and disables the button when the reminder
  is sent.

In many ways, this implementation is quite bad:

- Uses an async callback to delegate the task of PATCH-ing the API to
  edit mentions to the `new_reminders` method.

- Edits to the opt-in list embed relies on the fact that the reminder is
  not edited (using !remind edit) before someone clicks on the button. A
  trivial way to fix this would be to add another field to the site
  schema to store the `notification_view` in some way.

- The button is neither disabled nor any edits to the embed made when
  the reminder is deleted before someone clicks on the button.

- String splitting is used which relies on the exact format of the embed
  message when editing the embed to disable the button. We have to
  reminder to update this piece of code when adjusting its format in the
  future.

The UX can also be improved. Currently, I can't think of a way to
concisely phrase the button embed message so that it is clear that the
button is for people _other than_ the reminder author.

Notes:

- Max reminder mentions:

  - Mentions are pinged directly in a discord message when the reminder
    is sent. This means we're limited by the 2000-char limit. If we take
    each User ID snowflake to be 18-characters, and considering each
    mention to be formated as "<@id> " (with extra space), it results in
    about 90 mentions max. I've set the constant to 80 just in case.

  - This is not an issue when the mentions are added in through other
    means than the button we're adding in this commit, because the user
    has to use @-mentions when sending the `!remind edit` command, which
    is already under the discord's character limit.

- Log messages are added when something unexpected occurs within the
  code. Hopefully this is unlikely to happen after the implementation
  issues listed above are solved.

- The opt-in list in the second embed is separate from mentions added in
  the original reminder creation, or any further edits, because mentions
  are added by the to-be-mentioned-user, rather than by the reminder
  author in this way. (Even though they are stored the same way.)
This solves most, if not all issues from the previous commit.

- A timeout of 5 minutes is enforced - this means the button can no
  longer be used either when the reminder arrives or 5 minutes passes
  since creation, whichever comes first.
- Reminder edits in between creation and button clicks will be handled
  responsibly
  - This includes both edits of duration, mentions, and deleting
    reminders altogether.
- UX is improved. This list of to-be-mentioned users is sent up-front
  with the author included. Instructions to click the button comes right
  after the list.
- No updates to the API or site schema required, as the button message
  will disable itself when it encounters any sort of errors.
- Implementation is also somewhat simplified.

There are probably more improvements, maybe one caveat, but it's like
almost midnight and I want to sleep :/ I sure hope the list above covers
most of it.

Further testing will be done. Now `.remind 10s test` is ingrained in my
muscle memory...
- More resilient handling of API errors.
- Don't rely on string manipulation to disable the button.
This removes the need of any form of error handling from `embeds` list
indexing, and makes the code more concise and readable.

The drawback is that a whole new embed object have to be allocated each
time, rather than editing the description like before.

Button for others to opt-in to be notified for reminders
* Added the possibility of slicing for the zen command

* Fixed off-by-one error, as the end index can be equal to the length of the zen

* Added support for negative signs and replaced re.search by re.match

* Allows for end_index == len(zen_lines). Previously, in that case, end_index % zen_lines would be 0, even though it's the last line

* Allows for slicing without a specified end index (e.g. "1:" will return all lines from the second to the last)

* Update end index display when slicing in the zen command

* Added tests for the zen command
