fix: Channel Name ratelimit make channel.edit functions freeze

[ErdemGKSL]

Description of Changes and Justification:

This PR adjusts the request handler to avoid unnecessary sublimit blocking when editing a channel. Currently, editing a channel name three times triggers a sublimit rate limit. Following that, all subsequent channel.edit() calls (even ones not modifying the name) are queued behind the rate limit, which is incorrect.

This PR ensures that channel.edit() requests which do not modify the name field are not blocked by the name change sublimit. This improves compliance with Discord's rate-limiting behavior and prevents unrelated modifications (e.g., permissions, user limits, etc.) from being delayed.

Status and versioning classification:

• Code changes have been tested against the Discord API
• Typings don't need updating
• This PR changes the library's interface: No
• This PR includes breaking changes: No
• This PR only includes non-code changes: No

This is working exactly as designed. the sublimitPromise only exists when a sublimited request is actively on the wire, which means we should not be sending another request. The real reason you encounter this is because disord.js always passes name and topic via that edit function (on the wire undefined goes away, but the body is checked before that, it might be worth considering checking if those properties are non-undefined, but I don't love that risk). See below

discord.js/packages/discord.js/src/managers/GuildChannelManager.js

Lines 339 to 343 in 43a995b

	const newData = await this.client.rest.patch(Routes.channel(resolvedChannel.id), {
	body: {
	name: options.name,
	type: options.type,
	topic: options.topic,

So I guess the real fix would be to dynamically build the body in the edit method to only include those properties if they are present in options.
