More details for those planning to experiment

A few improvements to error handling and outputs throughout this GitHub Action were included from findings in recent testing!

Changes required to make existing workflows work are suggested in the README.md. But for those wanting a sneak peak, posting a message using a bot token is now done with patterns like so:

- name: Post to a Slack channel
  uses: slackapi/slack-github-action@v2.0.0-rc.3
  with:
    method: chat.postMessage
    token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}
    payload: |
      channel: ${{ secrets.SLACK_CHANNEL_ID }}
      text: "howdy <@channel>!"
