Add standalone example on error handlers (#1983)
* Remove error handlers from examples

Most examples use the same error handler, that error handler logs
update.to_dict but doesn't log error traceback. Hiding error traceback
is quite bad, removing the error handler entirely causes PTB to use
default error logging which does include error traceback.

* adding error handling example

* Change error handler example

Including:
- Change the telegram message to include usual python error message.
- HTML-escape the strings used to build the telegram message.
- Capitalize comments and add more empty lines to hopefully unify the
  style with other examples, at least a bit.
- Reorder imports.

* Add an error-rising command to the error handler example

* Slightly change example error handler docstring and comments

* Make telegram message sent by the error handler example more readable

* Rename error_handler.py to errorhandlerbot.py and add a start command

* Change error handler example to work without developer chat id

* Revert "Change error handler example to work without developer chat id"

This reverts commit c4efea6f

* Make bot token a module level constant in the error handler example

Otherwise the example will require two edits 40 lines apart to run.

* Show chat id in start command of the error handler example

The example requires you to set developer chat id, this change will
make things easier for users that don't know how to see their chat id.

* Add errorhandlerbot.py to the examples folder readme

============
Introduction
============

This library provides a pure Python interface for the
`Telegram Bot API <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_.
It's compatible with Python versions 3.5+ and `PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`_.

In addition to the pure API implementation, this library features a number of high-level classes to
make the development of bots easy and straightforward. These classes are contained in the
``telegram.ext`` submodule.

====================
Telegram API support
====================

All types and methods of the Telegram Bot API **4.8** are supported.

==========
Installing
==========

You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot with:

.. code:: shell

    $ pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade

Or you can install from source with:

.. code:: shell

    $ git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot --recursive
    $ cd python-telegram-bot
    $ python setup.py install
    
In case you have a previously cloned local repository already, you should initialize the added urllib3 submodule before installing with:

.. code:: shell

    $ git submodule update --init --recursive

===============
Getting started
===============

Our Wiki contains a lot of resources to get you started with ``python-telegram-bot``:

- `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_
- Tutorial: `Your first Bot <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Extensions-%E2%80%93-Your-first-Bot>`_

-------------------
Learning by example
-------------------

We believe that the best way to learn this package is by example. Here
are some examples for you to review. Even if it is not your approach for learning, please take a
look at ``echobot2``, it is the de facto base for most of the bots out there. Best of all,
the code for these examples are released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the
code and building on top of it.

Visit `this page <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/README.md>`_ to discover the official examples or look at the examples on the `wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Examples>`_ to see other bots the community has built.

-------
Logging
-------

This library uses the ``logging`` module. To set up logging to standard output, put:

.. code:: python

    import logging
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
                        format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')

at the beginning of your script.

You can also use logs in your application by calling ``logging.getLogger()`` and setting the log level you want:

.. code:: python

    logger = logging.getLogger()
    logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

If you want DEBUG logs instead:

.. code:: python

    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
