Subject: [PATCH] Implement host chat commands

On January 21 Innersloth released a document that details a few new
features. One of these are host chat commands: any chat message that
starts with "/cmd" is forwarded to the host and to the host only.

Implement this feature in Impostor too for implementation parity.

For more info, see their GitHub page:
