Autodetect tentacle zip root folder

Admin

The tentacle archive root folder is hard coded:
https://github.com/Drakkar-Software/OctoBot-Tentacles-Manager/blob/master/octobot_tentacles_manager/constants.py#L97
If we detected the root folder automatically, a tentacle developer could simply use a git release to share tentacles (zip root folder is repo name).

Sorry I wasn't clear. I don't wish to automatically load up tenatacles from a url on startup, but wish to be able to easily create and share tentacles with the community.

The internal directory structure of a tentacle zip file currently requires a directory called "reference_tentacles" as created by tentacles-manager:

$ unzip -l any_platform.zip

Archive: any_platform.zip

I created a tentacle as a test and did a github release, but the zip file uses a root dir of the name of the repo, so it is not imported correctly.

$ unzip -l dbstraffin-tentacles-0.1.0.zip

I understand I could setup a cicd build pipeline in order to properly use tenatacles-manager to create the zip file, but that raises the barrier to entry for contributors to the community.

Hi Dennis, it's a good suggestion, but you can already do this with TENTACLES_URL environment var (you can find it in OctoBot/octobot/constants.py:48).
