Robert Hönig 242bcdbadc botserver: Add specific error message for unedited zuliprcs.
Previously, when a user tried to run the Botserver with a
zuliprc but forgot to set the bot name, they were told to
edit the botserverrc file. However, the recommended approach
is to specify the botname with the -b option. This commit
adds an error message specific for this case. It recognizes
zuliprc files by their section header `api`.

zulip-botserver --config-file <path to botserverrc> --hostname <address> --port <port>

Example: zulip-botserver --config-file ~/botserverrc

This program loads the bot configurations from the config file (botserverrc here) and loads the bot modules. It then starts the server and fetches the requests to the above loaded modules and returns the success/failure result.

Please make sure you have a current botserverrc file with the configurations of the required bots. Hostname and Port are optional arguments. Default hostname is 127.0.0.1 and default port is 5002.
