Release v2024.430.0

Thank you for following along in the Discord Snipe Bot project. This is a tagged stable release (v2024.430.0) 🌌

FINALLY ALL OF THE MAIN WORK OF DISCORD SNIPE BOT IS COMPLETE!!! 🎉

I consider this project a success from my side, as the lifetime reach of it has exceeded my expectations, and I was finally able to complete all of the work required to completely finish Discord Snipe Bot's main development phase. This means that the bot is now completely finished in terms of required functionality, and tbh nothing more has to be added to the core functionality of the bot.

This means that anyone can download the files from the release, use the setup instructions at README.md, and have a near perfect experience using the bot, as well as them being able to modify it to work how exactly they want it to.

From now onwards, that means I might not be as active to make features or updates to Discord Snipe Bot, but if yall have any suggestions or want to add something to the project, feel free to make an issue or a pull request :)

Thank you everyone!
