updating/upgrading contributing bot tutorial

[kraktus]

Not sure if it the right place, but:

This page: https://pythondiscord.com/pages/contributing/bot/ could be better (although it is already pretty good)

Rename #bot-commandsand #ot-offtopics to bot and off-topic-0 to actually meet with their names in config.yml. Explicit more that the bot_token has to be put in the .envfile.

Precise somewhere that not all cogs are loaded in DEBUG mode, I lost one hour trying to figure why verification.py was not loading.

What do you think?

This is the wrong repo to post this issue on, I'm moving it over to the bot repo.

I appreciate the feedback, these are good suggestions. I would suggest we make the following changes:

• Let's change the names of the channels in default-config.yml to actually match the channel name. It should be called bot-commands, not just bot.
• Let's change the guide so that we create all three off-topic channels, and simply name them #off-topic-0, #off-topic-1 and #off-topic-2 to match the constants.
• I'm gonna discuss with the core devs whether perhaps we should just load all cogs in debug mode from now on. The reason they're not being loaded is because we used to test the bot on the main server, but recently we've been using a test server for this instead and I kind of think that's a better system.

Yes I think loading all modules is a good idea, but then a #verification(and precise it is not the same as #checkpoint-test in config.yml) channel would have to be include in the tutorial. I could do the changes myself but I can't find the source code of the page.

The config alterations can be done at the same time as #206 is addressed.
