Add examples to search for @userhandle mentions #2

In the readme and examples, we have search for text, hashtags and listing posts from a user.

However, maybe include an example to search for @userhandle mentions as well?

That would complete the program

The program is already capable of that, you can try the "advanced search" of twitter. You can set-up an advanced query there and copy the the resulting string query and give it to the program:

Example:

For tweets mentioning @elonmusk:
```
python scraper --query="(@elonmusk)"
```
For tweets that mentions @elonmusk with atleast 1000 replies from January 01, 2020 - August 31, 2023:
```
python scraper --query="(@elonmusk) min_replies:1000 until:2023-08-31 since:2020-01-01"
```
