Hsu Still 22d79c1004 Improve library documentation (#826)
* Improve the Command Service documentation

The following changes have been added to this PR:
•	Fix minor grammatical errors.
•	Capitalize terms such as Commands, Modules and such, as the context is specific to the lib.
•	Wrap methods and properties in code blocks.

The docs page currently has several issues that remains to be fixed.

1. 
```md
>[!WARNING]
>This article is out of date and has not been rewritten yet.
Information is not guaranteed to be accurate.
```

The docs doesn't necessarily seem "out of date" as the warning claims. The basics seem pretty relevant to the latest version of the lib.

2.
>“To manually load a module, invoke [CommandService.AddModuleAsync], by passing in the generic type of your module and optionally, a dependency map.”

The latter part of the sentence seems off. Where should the user pass the dependency map to? It seems to suggest that `AddModuleAsync` has an argument to pass the dependency to. If it is referring to `AddModuleAsync(Type type)`, then I feel like it should be clarified here - or perhaps change the wording of the sentence.

3.
>“First, you need to create an @System.IServiceProvider You may create your own IServiceProvider if you wish.” 

Any mention of @System.IServiceProvider is currently broken on the docs.

4.
>“Submodules are Modules that reside within another one. Typically, submodules are used to create nested groups (although not required to create nested groups).”

Clarification on the part after "although?"

5.
>“Finally, pass the map into the LoadAssembly method. Your modules will automatically be loaded with this dependency map.”

Where is this `LoadAssembly` method?

6.
```md
>[!NOTE]
>Preconditions can be applied to Modules, Groups, or Commands.
```

The docs should mention `ParameterPreconditionAttribute`'s existence.

Logging

Discord.Net's clients provide a Log event that all messages will be disbatched over.

For more information about events in Discord.Net, see the Events section.

Usage

To receive log events, simply hook the discord client's log method to a Task with a single parameter of type LogMessage.

It is recommended that you use an established function instead of a lambda for handling logs, because most addons accept a reference to a logging function to write their own messages.

Usage in Commands

Discord.Net's CommandService also provides a log event, identical in signature to other log events.

Data logged through this event is typically coupled with a CommandException, where information about the command's context and error can be found and handled.

Samples

Tips

Due to the nature of Discord.Net's event system, all log event handlers will be executed synchronously on the gateway thread. If your log output will be dumped to a Web API (e.g. Sentry), you are advised to wrap your output in a Task.Run so the gateway thread does not become blocked while waiting for logging data to be written.
