Cannot detect if Steam initialised correctly

[Domarius]

Given the following code (a variation on what is provided in the documentation):

	local status, error = pcall(steam.init)
	if not status then
		print("Steam Error: " .. error)
		return
	else
		print("Steam init success")
	end

When Steam is not running, the following is output to the console

[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() did not locate a running instance of Steam.
[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Loaded '/home/domarius/.local/share/Steam/linux64/steamclient.so' OK.
DEBUG:SCRIPT: Steam init success

You shouldn't do a pcall here. steam.init() will not throw a Lua error but instead return two values, the first is a boolean which indicates if steam was successfully initialized, and the other is nil on success and an error message if init failed.

Oh, can we correct the documentation then? This is the documentation;

function init(self)
	-- initialize the Steamworks SDK
	local status, error = pcall(steam.init)
	if not status then
		print("Error: " .. error)
		return
	end

	steam.set_listener(on_steam_event)
end

Oh, sure, could you please submit a pull request with the fix for the docs?
