Feature: Make the fields property in DiscordEmbedBuilder settable.

Details

When trying to add fields to the DiscordEmbedBuilder, it seems that the only way to do so is through the .AddField() method, whereas all of the other properties are settable through object initializer syntax.

Current way of adding embed fields:

var builder = new DiscordEmbedBuilder
{
     Color = DiscordColor.Red,
     Description = "This is an embed"
};

builder.AddField("field1", "I am a field", true);
builder.AddField("field2", "I am also a field", false);

While this certainly works, in my opinion it would look much cleaner to add them through object initializer syntax:

var embed = new DiscordEmbedBuilder
{
     Color = DiscordColor.Red,
     Description = "This is an embed",
     Fields =
     {
          new DiscordEmbedField
          {
               Name = "field1",
               Value = "I am a field",
               Inline = true
          },

          new DiscordEmbedField
          {
               Name = "field2",
               Value = "I am also a field",
               Inline = false
          }
     }
};

This would of course involve making the EmbedField constructor public, as well as changing how the builder internally checks the fields to ensure there are no API errors.

Yeah, just figured it would be nice since a few other libraries had it like that. In that case I’ll close this then.
