Subject: [PATCH 1/2] This fixes a potential WebSocketException crash that
 would print to console without getting logged via the logger when the user
 just so happens to lose internet (say router gets rebooted by ISP) right when
 Discord wants ``ResumeAsync`` to be called. This also fixes the issue at
 startup as well where the user infortunately gets hit by this as soon as they
 start their bot, but just before any attempt is made to connect to discord
 (there is a small window between
 ``Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.HostingAbstractionsHostExtensions.RunAsync(IHost
 host, CancellationToken token)`` and
 ``NetCord.Gateway.GatewayClient.StartAsync(PresenceProperties presence,
 CancellationToken cancellationToken)`` prior to the call to ``StartAsync`` in
 WebSocketClient.

The fix here is to instead log the exceptions via the logger.
