EarwigBot

A thin wrapper for EarwigBot's main bot code, located in core/main.py. This
wrapper will automatically restart the bot when it shuts down (from !restart,
for example). It requests the bot's password at startup and reuses it every
time the bot restarts internally, so you do not need to re-enter the password
after using !restart.

For information about the bot as a whole, see the attached README.md file (in
markdown format!) and the LICENSE for licensing information.
