Fix swallowed text between 2 mentions

[akirk]

When there are two mentions in a single Slack message, the text between the messages is swallowed.

I've extracted some code to make it easier to see the fix:

const USER_ID_REGEX = /<@(\w+)\|?\w*?>/g;
let text = 'Hello <@U123> ! :wave: I\'m pinging <@U456> as he would be the best folk to answer your question :slightly_smiling_face:';

let match = null;
while ((match = USER_ID_REGEX.exec(text)) !== null) {
    // foreach userId, pull out the ID
    // (if this is an emote msg, the format is <@ID|nick>, but in normal msgs it's just <@ID>
    const id = match[1];
    let displayName = "";
    let userId = '';
    if ( id === 'U123') userId = '@randy:server';
    if ( id === 'U456') userId = '@akirk:server';

    const users = {};
    if ( id === 'U123') users.displayName = 'Randy';
    if ( id === 'U456') users.displayName = 'Alex Kirk';

    if (!userId) {
        log.warn("Mentioned user not in store. Looking up display name from slack.");
        // if the user is not in the store then we look up the displayname
        displayName = users.displayName;
        // If the user is not in the room, we can't pills them, we have to just plain text mention them.
        text = text.slice(0, match.index) + displayName + text.slice(match.index + match[0].length);
    } else {
        displayName = users.displayName || userId;
        text = text.slice(0, match.index) + `<https://matrix.to/#/${userId}|${displayName}>` + text.slice(match.index + match[0].length);
    }
}

// TODO: This is fixing plaintext mentions, but should be refactored.
// https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-slack/issues/110
console.log( text.replace(/<https:\/\/matrix\.to\/#\/@.+:.+\|(.+)>/g, "$1") );
console.log( text.replace(/<https:\/\/matrix\.to\/#\/@[^:]+:[^|]+\|([^>]+)>/g, "$1") );

outputs

Hello Alex Kirk as he would be the best folk to answer your question :slightly_smiling_face:
Hello Randy ! :wave: I'm pinging Alex Kirk as he would be the best folk to answer your question :slightly_smiling_face:

The first line is using the current regex which swallows text, the second one is the improved one.

The fix looks sensible to me. Thanks! Can you complete the contributing checklist (signoff and changelog https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-bridge/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md), and then this should be good to go.

@akirk This line needs to end with a '.' or '!' as per tests.
