Hi. This pull request adds the User-Agent snippet mautrix-slack/0 to the User-Agent used by the bridge. This lets communities choose to whitelist the bot with the Slack moderation tools.

This change was suggested by a member of the Mac Admins group, who blacklist the standard Go-http-client/2.0 as it is commonly used by AI/LLM/quant/whatever scrapers which compromise the privacy of their communities.

Slack allows any User-Agent so long as it includes the SlackWeb/0 snippet.
