Lazy guilds for bots

[erkinalp]

Bots, when opting in to intents, have very little to control the ingestion of membership events. Just like the human users, bot users should also be allowed to use the lazy guilds method. This can be made into its own intent (GUILD_MEMBERS_LAZY).

Event authorization on Discord happens according to the permissions at the time of application, which can indeed involve code changes. Adding a new intent would also require code changes

I am talking about the opcode 14 mechanism described here, which is a read-only operation which does not involve changes in event authorisation (bots can already fetch members in a different format using a different operation).

As the user knows its use case best, users should be able to disable this endpoint.
