TL;DR bot for Telegram attempt in Go

TL;DR bot for Telegram

This is my attempt to write Telegram bot in Go. TL;DR stands for "Too long; didn't read" if you're wondering.

Typical workflow:

1. This bot is invited to some chat
2. Someone sends a link to article
3. Bot intercepts this message (don't worry, it skips all other messages)
4. Bot retrieves the page that the link points too
5. Bot tries to find main content area of that page
6. Bot extracts most meaningful phrases from that article
7. Bot then proceeds to publish this chewed content as a message to the chat where link appeared

tldrbot's Issues

Implement business logic

That is, parse a HTTP page from the URL and make a TL;DR post from it.
We can get existing logic from other TL;DR bots and implement them in Go.

Create UpdateHandler

Create update handler that applies some logic on each update struct we receive
Essentially we want to know whether it was URL passed in one of the messages around and is it a wide-article page.

Implement posting an answer

Depends on #2 and #1
After we know the TL;DR reply to posted URL, let's publish it, be it in a private conversation or some channel.
