bots/xkcd: Improve and refactor doc.md to use Markdown macros.

This commit does the following:
* Minor improvements to the writing wherever possible.
* Replace links to screenshots with links that would work when
  rendering said screenshots on the main repo. This would mean
  the screenshots won't be rendered outside the main repo.
* Adds a section that links to our Bots Guide's How to run a bot
  tutorial by using a Markdown a macro.
