While skimming, I noticed that this is a bot/config setting, not a server setting. I believe that this would much rather fit as a per-server setting. |

Description
This PR adds a bot setting
autonowplayingthat will make the bot automatically send a "now playing" text message when a new track starts, for any guild that has configured a text channel using thesettccommand. The setting defaults to off.If
npimagesis true then the now playing message will not include a progress bar since it will always be at 00:00 and will never update.Purpose
For communities that want to see what the currently playing track is in their text channel's messages, similar to other music bots.
This provides another mechanism for users to easily see what the currently playing track is and, in particular, when the track changes. Aside from users preferring this method, this could also be useful for use cases where it's not possible to set the bot's status or not feasible to set the channel's topic (for example due to not having permission from the server or due to Discord's rate limiting).
