Extended the hook_url functionality to Slack

[muffato]

Hello,

Got very interested in what @matthdsm did in #1798 . This is a small extension to support Slack as well, since Slack doesn't understand adaptive cards.

Here is how the notifications look like:

The JSON has a very long and tricky line where I try to improve the look-and-feel of the pipeline configuration:

• paths are printed as code
• dates are formatted according to the locale settings
• the hook_url itself is hidden

Note: I am using the legacy "attachments" method of the Slack API, rather than the now-recommended Block Kit method, because I couldn't find how to make the latter put some colour. I think one has to immediately know whether it failed or not, and the colour is faster to recognise than the text itself.

Love it, just left one small comment

IM_notification can do. I feel uninspired today and can't find a better name

Is this considered to be superseded by https://github.com/Midnighter/nf-slack ?
