Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Unable to set bot text channel to a thread. Threads would allow a concise place for the bot commands alongside a text channel.

### What is your ideal solution to the problem?

Have the bot check if there is a valid thread in the tc for the guild. If not it creates a new thread and caches the id. otherwise acts like a normal tc.

### How would this feature be used?

either add a use threads setting which will have the bot make a thread in the channel instead of using the text channel directly or, add a set thread option which will make the bot message in that thread instead.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the bot text-channel configuration and the Discord channel-message handling, then review how the project uses its Discord library. The scope still needs a decision between automatic thread creation and an explicitly configured thread before completion can be defined.
