Reorganized project

Moved modules into the assembly itself to simplify development of
further features and reduce complexity in building this project.

Additionally, many small adjustments were made, including:
- Add documentation to most public methods that had it missing
- Minor style updates
- Updated readme to reflect near-completion of this rewrite
- Remove any last remaining references to old project name Kerobot
- Update dependencies

+### Modules
+As mentioned above, this bot also serves as a framework of sorts, allowing others to write their own modules and expand
