Better Twitter integration

[jiriryszawy]

I have few feature requests for better Twitter integration:

New way to follow multiple twitter users Now you can only import tweets from one user using twitter-bot script. It would be helpful to add more users in one script argument (using comma as a separator). Putting more users will now cause an error. Only way to follow multiple users is to call twitter-bot script multiple times in crontab with different arguments. But this is causing issue zulip/python-zulip-api#697 nowadays. In some cases (when following a lot of users or searching for a lot of terms) it will make sense to read the argumets from an external file.

Twitter-bot settings integrated in Zulip It would be even nicer if you would have an oportunity to set up twitter-bot arguments (following users, mentions, etc.) directly from Zulip. It will provide users a way to manage it without the need of doing it in a bash (if the user have rights to do it) or to contact administrator of Zulip server to do it for him.
