Unable to send slack message as bot using slack oauth2

[jcrawford-fts]

Bug Description

If I use just the “slack oath2 api” credential, the only choice I have is a client id and client secret with a callback url (see attached). It will not let you use the bot user oath token beginning in xoxb. When I try to send a message, it sends as myself. Since we can't specify the actual bot oath2 user token, it defaults sending the message with the user token. If I use “slack api” credential then I have the option of just using the bot user oath token which starts with xoxb and it works fine.

I’m using the self hosted community version 1.71.3 in k8 aka n8nio/n8n:1.71.3

To Reproduce

1. Go to create credential.
2. Select "slack oauth2 api"
3. Click "continue"
4. See screenshot below where your only options are "client id" and "client secret"
   

Expected behavior

Allow a user to be able to plug in the bot user oauth user token that starts with xoxb which then will send a slack message as the bot instead of the user.
