- Cleaned the code a little bit

See title

- Fixed a small lang bug

[+] /mapads advert list <screen>
[+] /mapads advert remove <id>

The messages for list and remove cannot be changed as of now, but I am working on making them configurable and also on adding an administration gui for the ad screens.

[~] A few parts of the plugin were not pulling the messages from the configuration correctly, that should be fixed now
[+] Official German translation available here

[+] Discord integration (Requires free map-ads-discord-bot extension)
[~] Bugfixes ('/mapads screen delete' was missing)

Unfortunately I was not able to merge the Discord integration with the main plugin because the Discord library takes up a lot of space. Take a look at the wiki to see how the Discord extension works.

[+] Added update checker

To disable this set 'send-update-message' to 'false' in the config. If you're upgrading from a previous version you'll have to add that field manually.

[+] Fixed two bugs reported by @Ste3et_C0st
[~] Improved the AdvertCreateEvent

A new entry has been added to the lang.yml file. You need to add this entry manually if you're upgrading to this version. ( Docs)

[+] Color cache
[~] Fixed a small reviewing bug

The color cache will reduce the time that image converting takes by a lot, but it will also take up ~16 MB of memory in return. Use this if you have enough memory. This is disabled by default.
If you're upgrading from a previous version you'll have to add the use-color-cache field manually (see the default config)

[+] Added a new transition: 'overlay'

Feel free to request other transitions on my Discord server!
