Source Chat Relay Versions Save

Some fixes on server & client, notably the Discord auth strconv error.

• Customizable simple message
• Dependency upgrades

Added an event command to dispatch event

Added Insurgency to the list of hex color supported.

This release is a breaking release, meaning no compatibility with previous plugin/server.
