Add Command feature: Act as typing until response is sent

[weeco]

It would be nice to have a feature for Command which allows you to set actAsTypingUntilResponseIsSent to true. If you have asynchronous responses to commands, it is handy to inform the user that the bot is processing the request by using message.channel.startTyping(). Once the response has been sent message.channel.stopTyping() has to be executed again.

Implementing that for all commands is a repetitive task and I think this could be a nice feature for this framework.

The best I could really do on the framework end is start the typing process before the command action is executed and stop it after. Maybe also have command.respond() stop it if it's used. Other than that it'd be clunky and not really fit with a lot of potential command designs, which is why it's never been something I've wanted as a part of the framework.

I'll consider it, and I'll leave this open as a reminder. If I make a decision either way I'll close this. I also definitely won't go for such a verbose option name if I do lol.
