Blake Erickson 80a80ef2bd DEV: Use method instead of constant for discobot badge names
This change refactors the code a bit so that a plugin could easily
replace which badge is awarded when completing the discobot new user
tutorial and advanced tutorial.

By adding a static method and putting the BADGE_NAME constant inside of
that method we can simply call that method now instead of the constant.
A plugin could then `class_eval` that method and replace it with
whatever badge name they choose. This is way cleaner than having the
plugin change the frozen constant! eeek.
