Fixed Twitch bug

- Fixed an issue where Twitch users were not registered correctly due to recent DB changes
- Log-level of unidentified users changed from warning to info
- Minor changes to `!customvc`
  - Renamed `bitrate` -> `audio_bitrate`
  - Added `video_bitrate`
  - Changes some help text
  - Fixed certain subcommands which were broken after recent changes
  - Added `autoname` -> Automatically names the voice chat according to game being played by the owner
    - *Needs addiitonal work to implement all features*
