v0.5.0-rc1

It's been a while, but here we have another release candidate for the discord bridge. It contains a mountain of stability fixes and performance improvements. As always, lots of thanks to @Sorunome for handling a lot of the reviews and PRs.

Important changes in this release are highlighted in bold.

• Node 8 is no longer supported as per the README. You can still use it with the bridge, but we would urge you to pick up Node 10 or newer.
• The room-store.db and user-store.db are no longer in use, as the data has been migrated to the database. This will be done automatically for you when you upgrade, but if it should fail you should contact us in the bridge support room (link in the README).

Features:

• #383 Use database for room store.
• #394 Use database for user store.
• #404 Allow parsing of image and footer embed fields
• #413 Allow to disable join / leave echos. Thanks @TurBoss
• #420 [D->M] Parses embed.fields for discord embeds
• #440 Allow for customizable display names for ghosts (e.g. "(Discord) Half-Shot")
• #462 Support unbridging via discord and matrix.
• #463 Handle bulk deletion of messages
• #466 Handle room pills with other aliases.
• #467 Handle discord side room mentions
• #473 Add indexes to tables

Bugfixes:

• #380 M->D fix nickname escaping in /me messages
• #386 increase bot ready timeout
• #388 escape pipes in M->D
• #403 fix guild name sending and chanfix+ghostfix tools
• #405 fix emotes not working in postgres
• #417 Remove extraneous comma on UPDATE. Thanks @turt2live
• #439 Fix #437: Assume power level 50 for @room perm. Thanks @Pneumaticat

Misc:
