This release moves database access configs from a user-edited JSON file to Appia's new user settings system. This is more flexible and robust than the JSON system, and removes the requirement that the user creates and edits JSON files by hand. This is a breaking change so I guess this should be v8 but it's relatively minor, so I'm simply not going to do that.
If you're already an Appia user, you will have to run `appia utils --database-setup` to add your database parameters.
This also removes the unused Slack options, which cuts out a hefty dependency.
