How to auto-generate actions from Slack API

virtualenv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./generate_openapi.py

How it works:

1. Grab the Slack OpenAPI spec from GitHub
2. Use the OpenAPI spec to give us a list of "methods"
3. The OpenAPI spec does NOT contain "default" values for parameters, so we need to get those from elsewhere
4. Goto the public HTTP API reference https://api.slack.com/methods and parse the HTML for the Default parameter values
5. Combine the "default" values from the HTTP API reference with the OpenAPI information
6. Render a Jinja template template.jinja with the combined data
7. Write the rendered Jinja template to ../actions/<method>.yaml
