Subject: [PATCH] types(UserManager): fix send() return type to
 Promise<Message<false>> (#11337)

* types(UserManager): fix send() return type to Promise<Message<false>>

UserManager.send() always sends a direct message (DM), so the return type should b Promise<Message<false>> instead of Promise<Message> to correctly indicate that the message is not in a guild context.

Closes #11331

* fix: requested changes
