Cannot snooze a reminder from a recurring schedule

[Roy-Orbison]

Summary

The snooze drop-down does nothing if the reminder is a recurring one.

Steps to reproduce

1. Issue a command such as /remind me FOOBAR every day at <2 minutes from your current time>
2. Wait for reminder message
3. Try to select snooze option from message

Expected behaviour

That instance of the reminder should be snoozed

Observed behaviour (that appears unintentional)

Nothing happens, message remains.

Also, if multiple snooze attempts are made to a recurring reminder, the plugin will crash and have to be disabled & re-enabled from the System Console, otherwise it won't respond to any slash commands.

I thought of a possible solution for this issue. Because snoozing only applies to the current instance of the recurring reminder, but (I'm guessing) the data model doesn't have a record of instances, snoozing could:

1. clone the original reminder
2. drop the clone's recurring schedule and set its date & time to the original's + the snooze duration
3. dismiss the original as if it had been marked as completed

It's a little hackish, but likely easier to implement than something that requires changing the model. A consequence would be that deleting a clone would not delete the original schedule, which I see as a positive. I'd be happy with that over plugin crashes.
