fix: use bot.process_commands() for prefix command dispatch

- Removed manual prefix stripping and bot._commands lookup
- Simply call bot.process_commands(message) in on_message
- This is the standard discord.py way to handle prefix commands
- bot.process_commands() internally: strips prefix → finds command → invokes it
- This separates prefix commands from slash commands completely

main.py
