Editing on-going Giveaways

[Sanduhr32]

This would not be hard at all.
I still feel like users should make up what they give away before creating a giveaway. They also should double check the data they enter.

While we are at feature things, many people also ask for translation.
And as a side note, parsing time formats like 4d3h is implemented but never used / supported. I might also want to change that.

There are 3 primary reasons why this hasn't been added:

1. Because giveaways are updated in a separate process from where they are set up, giveaways might not show their updated information for a significant period of time, or the two processes could end up competing to edit the message. Editing the end time of a giveaway could also negatively impact the internal 'status' of a giveaway.
2. Users could end up entering a giveaway they don't want (or weren't expecting) as the contents could end up changing after they have entered. User consistency is an important consideration in all features.
3. Editing the time of a giveaway could end up being syntactically confusing; using duration is already a struggle for some users (as opposed to using specific date times), but is currently used because duration is timezone-independent.

That said, if a solution was found that addresses these concerns, I think it would be a feasible addition.
