Jasmin Bom 26ce9bb343
Documentation fixes (#1348) 
* Clarify InlineKeyboardButton callback-data docstring

Fixes #1267

* Improve documentation slightly

- Prettier changelog
- Link to examples on frontpage
- Link to wiki on frontpage
- Put telegram.ext in own sidebar thingy

* Improve ext.Filters documentation

Superseeds #1089

- Remove `:obj:Filter` as it's pretty obvious that it's a filter since it's in this module. It also made the html output about 1/3 times longer to scroll through.
- Add an __all__ to reorder so Filter is at the top instead of BaseFilter
- Add a proper docstring for document that documents the attributes (this is the #1089 part)
- Also fix a couple of grammar errors.

* Fix indentation in telegram.rst

* Add `git describe --long --tags` to the `python -m telegram` output

* Use admonition for examples to make them *pop* better

* Remove automodule telegram

Sphinx was whining a lot and it doesn't actually seem to be needed in any way?

* Fix Filters.document docstring per CR

Co-Authored-By: jsmnbom <jsmnbom@gmail.com>

* Fix spelling error in docs index

Co-Authored-By: jsmnbom <jsmnbom@gmail.com>

* Setting needs_sphinx to 1.7.9

so we don't have more issues with incongruent versions

* Fixed last warnings

* Make pre-commit happy

Changelog
=========
Version 12.0.0b1
================
*Released 2019-02-13*
First beta release ever.
It has been so long since last release that we would like to test the impact before a final release.
*We do NOT recommend using this beta release in production.*
**Major changes:**
- Context based callbacks
- Persistence
- PrefixHandler added (Handler overhaul)
- Deprecation of RegexHandler and edited_messages, channel_post, etc. arguments (Filter overhaul)
- Various ConversationHandler changes and fixes
**See the wiki page at https://git.io/fxJuV for a detailed guide on how to migrate from version 11 to version 12.**
Context based callbacks (`#1100`_)
----------------------------------
- Use of ``pass_`` in handlers is deprecated.
- Instead use ``use_context=True`` on ``Updater`` or ``Dispatcher`` and change callback from (bot, update, others...) to (update, context).
- This also applies to error handlers ``Dispatcher.add_error_handler`` and JobQueue jobs (change (bot, job) to (context) here).
- For users with custom handlers subclassing Handler, this is mostly backwards compatible, but to use the new context based callbacks you need to implement the new collect_additional_context method.
- Passing bot to ``JobQueue.__init__`` is deprecated. Use JobQueue.set_dispatcher with a dispatcher instead.
- Dispatcher makes sure to use a single `CallbackContext` for a entire update. This means that if an update is handled by multiple handlers (by using the group argument), you can add custom arguments to the `CallbackContext` in a lower group handler and use it in higher group handler. NOTE: Never use with @run_async, see docs for more info. (`#1283`_)
- If you have custom handlers they will need to be updated to support the changes in this release.
- Update all examples to use context based callbacks.
Persistence (`#1017`_)
----------------------
- Added PicklePersistence and DictPersistence for adding persistence to your bots.
- BasePersistence can be subclassed for all your persistence needs.
- Add a new example that shows a persistent ConversationHandler bot
Handler overhaul (`#1114`_)
---------------------------
- CommandHandler now only triggers on actual commands as defined by telegram servers (everything that the clients mark as a tabable link).
- PrefixHandler can be used if you need to trigger on prefixes (like all messages starting with a "/" (old CommandHandler behaviour) or even custom prefixes like "#" or "!").
Filter overhaul (`#1221`_)
--------------------------
- RegexHandler is deprecated and should be replaced with a MessageHandler with a regex filter.
- Use update filters to filter update types instead of arguments (message_updates, channel_post_updates and edited_updates) on the handlers.
- Completely remove allow_edited argument - it has been deprecated for a while.
- data_filters now exist which allows filters that return data into the callback function. This is how the regex filter is implemented.
- All this means that it no longer possible to use a list of filters in a handler. Use bitwise operators instead!
ConversationHandler
-------------------
- Remove ``run_async_timeout`` and ``timed_out_behavior`` arguments (`#1344`_)
- Replace with ``WAITING`` constant and behavior from states (`#1344`_)
- Only emit one warning for multiple CallbackQueryHandlers in a ConversationHandler (`#1319`_)
- Use warnings.warn for ConversationHandler warnings (`#1343`_)
- Fix unresolvable promises (`#1270`_)
Bug fixes & improvements
------------------------
- Handlers should be faster due to deduped logic.
- Avoid compiling compiled regex in regex filter. (`#1314`_)
- Add missing ``left_chat_member`` to Message.MESSAGE_TYPES (`#1336`_)
- Make custom timeouts actually work properly (`#1330`_)
- Add convenience classmethods (from_button, from_row and from_column) to InlineKeyboardMarkup
- Small typo fix in setup.py (`#1306`_)
- Add Conflict error (HTTP error code 409) (`#1154`_)
- Change MAX_CAPTION_LENGTH to 1024 (`#1262`_)
- Remove some unnecessary clauses (`#1247`_, `#1239`_)
- Allow filenames without dots in them when sending files (`#1228`_)
- Fix uploading files with unicode filenames (`#1214`_)
- Replace http.server with Tornado (`#1191`_)
- Allow SOCKSConnection to parse username and password from URL (`#1211`_)
- Fix for arguments in passport/data.py (`#1213`_)
- Improve message entity parsing by adding text_mention (`#1206`_)
