Blank lines in USAGE produce unwanted behavior with !help #71

Description

@evstar3

Overview

Calling !help on a module with a blank line in its USAGE produces unwanted behavior.

Okay, why?

When !help is called, Bobbit produces a message with message.copy() for each line in USAGE. When there is a blank line in USAGE, one of these calls will be message.copy(body=''). In the copy method, the body evaluates to false and the original body of the !help command is copied. Because message.copy() also copies the nick, Bobbit sees this message as a command invocation and replies to it.

Affected Modules

Note: this list was made with the following dope one-liner
find src/bobbit/modules -maxdepth 1 -type f | xargs -I {} sh -c "sed -ne \"/USAGE[^=]*=/,/'''/p\" {} | grep -qE '^$' && echo \$(basename {})"
