Support for adding text descriptors to certain Discord and Discourse config attributes

Now, you can add text descriptors to certain attributes by adding // and any description you want afterwards at the end of the attribute key. Example:
"477551557723029514//general channel": 2,
The attributes that support this are:

• Discourse category ids
• Discord role ids
• Discord channel ids

ExternalPlugin: flexible/powerful 3rd-party plugins

The ExternalPlugin is used for loading a graph and optionally a declaration and
identityProposals from either:

1. the plugin config folder on disk
   • To use this method, simply place the files into the
     config/plugins/external/X folder.
2. a base url that statically serves the files
   • To use this method, simply serve the files statically with cross-origin
     enabled, and add a config.json file in the
     instance's config/plugins/external/X folder with form:
     { "graphUrl": "https://www.myhost.com/path/to/graph", "declarationUrl": "https://www.myhost.com/path/to/declaration", "identityProposalsUrl": "https://www.myhost.com/path/to/proposals" }

Supported files for either method are:

1. graph.json/graph (required) - works whether or not it is
   compressed using our library
2. declaration.json (optional) - if omitted, a default declaration with
   minimal node/edge types is used, but also graphs don't have to adhere to the
   declaration if they don't desire to be configured using our
   Weight Configuration UI.
3. identityProposals.json (optional) - if omitted, no identities are proposed

The External plugin can be used multiple times, because it simply uses the
PluginId pattern "external/X" where X can be any name an instance admin chooses.

We are working on this tutorial for developers to work with the ExternalPlugin. It should be done by the end of August 2021.

Option to write JSON outputs without compression

If you want to get the non-compressed JSON of your credGraph, credGrainView, or other compressed output files, you can simply run:

yarn sourcecred graph --no-zip
yarn sourcecred credrank --no-zip
