Presume to post in Reactiflux, log to #bot-log, small naming/etc changes, add channel ID and frequency constants
This assumes all timers start on sunday at midnight, and resumes them on startup by scheduling for the next intended run from there
Also removes messageConfig from args and just uses the constant

Turns out the bug was that I was trying to send messages before the bot logged in, not anything related to permissions/etc 🤦 oh well, we got there

While I see the benefit for the jobBoard and helpReact(moreThanWeekly) channels I don't really see what benefit the helpJs and helpReact(often) brings.
Maybe we should improve the new joiner experience in general? e.g. have a channel with a message explaining all of this visible right after joining and having other channels hidden for like 2 minutes, giving everyone time to read?

I'd quite like to improve the new joiner experience in general, adding some form of onboarding would be awesome — right now we can't control what channel people enter, so I thought repeatedly surfacing info that that's tucked away in channel descriptions was a low-effort way to improve on the current state

We can always update the welcome screen channels (up to 5 supported).
Closes #124. We've had support for this forever, but have never actually used them! This re-posts rules to
#job-boardevery day, and some other messages intended to guide new joiners in our highest traffic channels.
