Description:

Related issue (if applicable): #1212

Support the new Slack API which will officially deprecate the old on Mar 31st, 2025 (coming soon)

Note: This is very much a heavy work in progress and in it's current state does not work. Just committing to get code off my PC

Seeing how the Slack plugin is one of the earlier Apprise plugins, it's structure was rather bloated, so this PR will also involve it's refactoring.

Despite time running out, the adaptation made in this PR will remain compatible with the old API with a deprecation warning to those still using it (which is everybody 😉 ) alerting them to convert.
