Also added an example program, updated the docs, added tests, and created a Makefile with helpful targets to update Go modules and run tests.

After doing more research, calling sendMessage with message entities doesn't effect max character count, so there is no reason to call HtmlToEntities. It is better to just send HTML and let Telegram handle the entity conversion.
