Discord V8 8️⃣☑️

This update migrates Kord to the Discord V8 API, users who mostly operate inside the core module
will probably not notice many changes, outside of intents now being a mandatory field.
An overview on what has officially changed can be found on Discord.

Optionals ❓

Kord now knows the difference between null and missing. Common, Gateway, Rest and Core's xData entities now make the distinction between a field that was not part of the json payload and one that was set as null. This means that requests will now also be able to properly serialize null when trying to 'unset' a value (like a member's nickname).

Snowflakes are no longer inline ❄️

Snowflake have graduated to proper classes and can now be serialized, which means we are now able to use them in lower levels of our API as well.
