Add support for slackbot_response and thread_broadcast Messages

[saethlin]

I'm working on a patch for this, does anyone else have something?

[dten]

i don't have anything

I have additions for these and bot_add + bot_remove at the ready, I'll send them as soon as #56 gets merged/approved.

Sidenote: It looks like the id field may be inconsistently-typed as well, but I don't have enough message volume to be sure.

@mthjones did a bunch of work a while back on codegen that looks like it might exist to solve this, should it?

Unfortunately it looks like the codegen tool is broken, and this project seems rather abandoned? I don't mean to be rude, but this project really needs some TLC. Is it really a good idea (in such a state) to depend on a project written in NodeJS?

Probably. It was hacked together before Slack had any sort of standard for their API, so the best it could do was scrape the web pages and try to generate a schema from that. Slack had no consistent API structure or versioning, so it was impossible to maintain. Looks like there's an actual schema now, so that sounds like it'd be a great starting point to improve this library and remove the NodeJS dev dependency!

these types exist now since v0.23
