Provide URL expansion when Jira issues are mentioned in a Slack chat

Slack Jira Issue Expansion

A killer feature of the integration between Hipchat and Jira is the issue expansion. Whenever a Jira issue is mention in the chat, the Jira integration would pop up some high level information about the issue and a link.

With the Jira integration in Slack being a bit light, we decided to implement a simple bot using the Slack RTM API:
