Allow serverless/webhook bots

It would be nice to have the option to make serverless bots that respond to web requests to answer to certain triggering messages. Whenever a user posts a message with a certain prefix or one that mentions the bot, Discord would send a webrequest to a webhook a bot developer defined. The webhook will respond with some json that defines the message the bot would post, if any.

This would allow bot developers to host bots using cheap serverless hosting where they only pay per API requests, and is way better for the environment since it doesn't require a virtual machine to be running somewhere in the cloud.
