Fix discord integration#160
Conversation
In Ally we're authorizing users, not requesting an access token for a bot, as such, the guild and permissions parameters are not valid: https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#bot-users We're also using the user integration type, since that's the purpose of Ally: to authenticate users.

If I get it right, you are saying that if I am authenticating a regular user then the concept of guilds do not apply to them? |

My understanding of Discord is not that great. But wouldn't I be able to get a list of servers for a user that just logged-in to my app using Discord? For example, I am building some social network for gamers and I will to let them login only using Discord and show which guilds/servers they are part of?

❓ Type of change
📚 Description
Aligns the oauth redirect parameters with those documented in the Discord docs for user authorization.
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#authorization-code-grant
