Automate Slack Invites #2781

Description

@tomjn

Previously we relied on the baymax bot also running a slack invitation web app on Heroku, but this bot uses very old packages, and broke when these packages updated. ( It's also costing me $7 a month for a simple JS slack bot ).

Since trying to fix it using newer packages hasn't worked and is turning out to be a bit of a minefield I've attempted to replace it with a fork of https://github.com/MattIPv4/redirect-slack but this isn't working and is failing the slack endpoint auth. I suspect the original will stop working at some point too for the same reason, but our free workspace can't grant the needed priviledges to do this.

For now I've generating a non-expiring link good for the next 400 people and manually put it in the VVV site. I've also put baymax in maintenance mode
