feat: Simulate discord typing while generating a response

[dxlliv]

Relates to: Discord Client

Risks

Low: Probably none

Background

What does this PR do?

It implements sendTyping() from Discord.js to indicate bot activity while generating a response.

What kind of change is this?

Features (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Why are we doing this? Any context or related work?

Without a typing indicator, users might feel unsure if the bot is working, especially during longer response generation times. The indicator simulates how humans communicate in real-time, making the bot feel more natural and engaging.

Documentation changes needed?

My changes do not require a change to the project documentation.

Testing

Where should a reviewer start?

Test in Discord by tagging the bot and observing if the typing indicator appears during response generation.

This is a great add on!

Love it. Great way to simulate more "humanization"!

Looks like you could do something similar with TG which would be a great add as well if your up for it!

Example of telegam usage:

bot.on('text', async (ctx) => {
  // Simulate typing for 2 seconds
  await ctx.sendChatAction('typing');
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));

  // Send the actual message
  ctx.reply('Hello!');
});
