Stylistic changes
Corrected documentation on decoupling to correctly expose both ports of Lavalink. Internal changes to reduce the quirks with this process
Updated docker-compose.yml to allow updating of the WildBeast source code without decoupling
Added restPort property to Lavalink node configuration
Upgraded Lavalink to v3 and ArangoDB to 3.3.14
