Not all chat_id's contain `-` #63

I started a private chat with the bot, and got the following message: Chat id is '12345678'. Per README instructions, I then configured alertmanager with webhook url http://some.host.name/alert/-12345678, resulting in Chat not found error messages from the bot.

Broke my head over this, until I invited the bot into a group chat, and I got a chat_id with - included (Chat id is '-5678901'), which did work with url http://some.host.name/alert/-5678901. Then trying to use the 'private' chat_id without - in the url (http://some.host.name/alert/12345678) also worked.

So I suggest updating README to something like:

### Configuring alert manager

Alert manager configuration file:

- name: 'admins'
  webhook_configs:
  - send_resolved: True
    url: http://127.0.0.1:9087/alert/chat_id

Replace chat_id with the number you got from your bot, ***with everything inside the quotes*** (Some chat_id's start with `-`, so if there is a `-` in your chat_id, make sure to include it in the url). To use multiple chats just add more receivers.

I'd say the word number is not correct here. Feel free to fire a PR.
