Users in multiple standups Scenarios

If User recieves a standup solicitation from multiple channel configurations at the same time, then:

• If User replies as normal, then both standups will receive the same notes.
• If user replies in thread, then only the thread response will be used for the standup notes.

Roadmap

• Provide terraform module for quick setup in fargate
• Update readme with a "how to"
