Custom Gateway interface / FixedShardGateway class?

[auguwu]

At the moment, Kord only implements the MasterGateway:
https://github.com/kordlib/kord/blob/0.8.x/core/src/main/kotlin/builder/kord/KordBuilder.kt#L229-L240

But, could there be a option for a DSL block to implement its own way to get the gateway, i.e:

val kord = Kord {
   gateway {
      SomeCustomGateway()
   }
}

In which, SomeCustomGateway inherits from the Gateway interface.

Also, could there be a new Gateway class for a fixed amount of shards, probably named FixedShardGateway? Or a better name if suggested, in which, you can link it to the gateway DSL block. This can probably be linked with the multi-process issue (#7).

If you don't plan to let users create a custom gateway for Kord, that's completely fine and it can be closed if there is any issues with it.

Thanks for opening the issue.
Yes, we do plan to change how gateways work in general. So we will have time to look at your request from a better perspective by then.

Thanks for the comment and can't wait for the gateway rework! 💜
