Enable slash commands and corresponding API's

One of the biggest challenges for our software engineering team to adopt Webex is the limited ChatOps capabilities. Slash commands are highly useful for running commands/queries from any chat or search box, regardless of which space is in focus. Out of box slash commands could include functions for setting user status, starting a meeting, changing space settings, etc. More importantly, there should be API extensibility so developers can create their own slash commands, without having to rely on adding/managing bots.

    It would be majorly helpful to have slash commands in webex just like we have in Slack and other chat platforms. This is a feature lets us access commonly used features without having to navigate though complex menus.
