splitting responses + references == messiness #38

@chrisrude something i've noticed with this is that with splitting responses on, every single split response replies to the same message, which can look a little messy. Off the top of my head there are two obvious solutions: either only having the first split part of the response reply to the request message (which i guess would make it unclear when the response ended some times) or having the response be in a single message (which is very humanlike but could be slow).
I think the second solution could be more elegant, and it could also be used to reuse the deprecated response streaming feature: instead of dumping the entire response at once, the bot would split it up as usual, but instead of sending them as different messages, it could edit the original message split response by split response (my impressions are that this would call the discord API far less times that the original text streaming implementation and work way more smoothly than the original implementation)
