Release v0.5.0

🥳 🎉 Trivia Bot Release v0.5.0 🎉🥳

Trivia Bot started as a class project for a class called 'Modeling and Simulation' (SSW-345 at Stevens Institute of Technology) and has now become my main passion project. (FYI: the first round of commits are irrelevant now since this repo had other stuff in it for our class besides code 😝 ) I should have known better; code AND trivia combined into one, two things I love, would OF COURSE become a fun side project for me!

The goal of the bot was originally to get a good grade in our class and have some fun while doing so and I'm happy to say we've achieved that. Now, the goal is to continually improve the bot, keep it up to date with the Discord API, and keep adding features that make the bot even more fun to engage with!

The bot currently utilizes v12.5.3 of the Discord API, which is why this isn't v1 of the bot. However, I think significant work has been produced, and good work at that, that I want to consider this a half release until a refactor is done to get the bot working with v13.

Thank you to all the awesome contributors! Excited to continue working on Trivia Bot and collaborating in the wonderful world of open source software development! 😄
