Allowing mentions in embeds

[VelvetToroyashi]

👋🏽 It's me, again. Run. Jokes aside, this is something I've seen increasingly pop up this year, and it's a precarious feature. For eight years (:blobsweat:) Discord has had mentions, and as far as memory serves, embeds too. At some point in time, allowed mentions were added to the ✨ official ✨ API, which made bots ever so slightly less annoying.

However, embeds have always acted as a poor-man's allowed_mentions on basis that mentions present within embeds somewhat counterintuitively never actually provide a notification/highlight, regardless of allowed_mentions.

While this would technically be an abhorrently breaking change for some, that's what we use Discord for on the fault of the library/bot dev, given the intended use of allowed_mentions, which, to my knowledge, allows no mentions by default and thusly this shouldn't:tm: retroactively break any bots who intended to ping a role/user anyways.

this would be a total disaster if it isn't opt-in, and I don't really see the point anyway

Some bots want to use purely embeds for messages for that ✨extra fanciness✨ so it could be useful in that case. Imo a good way for this to work would be only to mention if the mentioned user/role to explicitly set in allowed_mentions by snowflake.
