CooldownCheck class Null safety

A check that succeeds if a command is not on cooldown for a given context.

Every context can be sorted into "buckets", determined by type. See getKey for more information on how these buckets are created.

Each bucket is allowed to execute commands a certain number of times before being put on cooldown. This number is determined by tokensPer, and the cooldown for a bucket starts as soon as the bucket uses its first token. Once the cooldown is over, the number of tokens for that bucket is reset to tokensPer.

For example, a cooldown that puts individual users on cooldown for 2 minutes:

commands.check(CooldownCheck(
  CooldownType.user,
  Duration(minutes: 2),
));

commands.addCommand(ChatCommand(
  'test',
  'A test command',
  (IChatContext context) => context.respond(MessageBuilder.content('Hi there!')),
));

commands.onCommandError.listen((error) {
  if (error is CheckFailedException) {
    AbstractCheck failed = error.failed;

    if (failed is CooldownCheck) {
      error.context.respond(MessageBuilder.content(
        'Wait ${failed.remaining(error.context).inSeconds} '
        'seconds before using that command again!',
      ));
    }
  }
});

Notice the times at which the commands were executed, and that other users are not put on cooldown
