Temporary commands

[tisboyo]

Look at possibility of doing temporary commands. See if an expiration date field can be added to the table, and periodically check if there are any expired commands, and if so delete them.

This may be difficult, because the commands table is defined by the framework so I'm unsure if we'd be able to modify that table.
Other option would be a second table with just name/expiration and iterate through that then delete from the regular commands table.

@baldengineer Thoughts or comments on this idea?

yes, I would very much like that capability.

i can add a event for the event system that asks for commands not found in the main commands table, and if any valid Command subclasses are found from the results, it uses it instead of giving up

other way is to just handle on_privmsg_received and do checks there with custom logic
