Description

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

JMusicBot is still using reactions for its commands with pagination (i.e. `queue`). It is advised to use [Buttons](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#buttons) instead.

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

Make paginated commands use buttons instead of reactions.

Research direction

Start by reviewing open pull request #1006 and the existing pagination used by the queue command. Check how paginated commands currently handle reactions, then verify that Discord buttons provide the equivalent navigation for every paginated command. Done means paginated commands no longer rely on reactions for navigation.
