// New creates a new Discord session and will automate some startup
// tasks if given enough information to do so.  Currently you can pass zero
// arguments and it will return an empty Discord session.
// There are 3 ways to call New:
//     With a single auth token - All requests will use the token blindly,
//         no verification of the token will be done and requests may fail.
//     With an email and password - Discord will sign in with the provided
//         credentials.
//     With an email, password and auth token - Discord will verify the auth
//         token, if it is invalid it will sign in with the provided
//         credentials. This is the Discord recommended way to sign in.
