MAJOR BREAKING CHANGES

This release has a few major breaking changes. And a couple require developers to pay a bit of attention, else their programs will break.
I am sorry this is the case but such is life sometimes.

In order to give people a bit of a heads up here, and to make sure people do pay attention, I'm releasing a release candidate (-rc) version and give it some time, before I do a final v0.17.0.

See below for the most important, and trickier breaking changes.

Breaking changes

• Fix message event struct by @paprikati in #1391
  Our MessageEvent has been quite wrong for a while. This should fix it but it does mean folks will have to change their code to cope with this new structure. Please be extra vigilant in areas of your code that uses MessageEvent.
• Function execution events now correctly accept interfaces not strings by @ProjectBarks in #1357
  FunctionExecutedEvent had Inputs set as map[string]string but that didn't allow enough flexibility - that has been changed to map[string]interface.
• Allow emoji value in plain text blocks to be null by @calebmckay in #1354
  The Emoji field in TextBlockObject is now a pointer to ensure we can make a distinction between nil and false. Only affects when unmarshalling.
• Remove Legacy Workflows by @lorenzoaiello in #1350
  Slack has deprecated legacy workflows for a long time, and beginning September 26, 2024, Slack stopped executing workflows containing a "step from app." See more at https://api.slack.com/changelog/2023-08-workflow-steps-from-apps-step-back.
• Implement PublishViewContext to keep hash optional by @ishitamundhra in #1322
  PublishViewContext() now requires people to pass a PublishViewContextRequest which became a public type. If you call PublishViewContext() in your code, please adjust accordingly.
