Arbiter Bot Part 2 - Cancel Logic

First part @strangedad/arbiter-bot-for-all-hive is aribter_bot.py

This is the cancelling logic I've been working on for the arbiter systems.

I apologize I'm not putting a lot into writing of these individually but I will answer any questions.

I've been working on these bots for a long time, I just haven't had the time to upload all of these. So I definitely appreciate you folks hanging in there with me.
