Migrate from slacker to slack-sdk

[jacobtruman]

A newly created legacy bot token fails to authenticate using the older auth method used by the slacker module. The rtm.start method has also been deprecated, so migrated to rtm.connect. The slack-sdk module also provides blocks support.

Resolves #227.
Resolves #210.
Resolves #209.

I really wished I checked the PR page earlier... wasted time on #230 will close in favor of this one, still using #230 in production until this is merged and released.

[jacobtruman]

@tobias-urdin I have more or less given up hope that anyone will merge this PR and basically pulled the functionality I need into my own project - you might have to do the same :(

[lior-parsi]

can anyone merge this?

[amuraru]

I merged this in my fork at https://github.com/amuraru/slackbot
I am also maintaining slackbotng pypi package built out of that fork for those who may be interested

@amuraru Thanks for the fork. I'm encountering this error, do you happen to know why?

@daveluong the slack sdk is only for python >= 3.6 - you appear to be using python 3.5

Thanks for the patch, it looks excellent. I'll take a look soon.
