Document TOKEN must be user (invalid_scope) #72

I had an existing token I tried to with slack-cleaner; it failed with a cryptic _invalidscope error. Eventually I found documentation that certain APIs only work with user tokens (ones that start wtih xoxp and not bot tokens xoxb).

A quick note on the documentation might save others some trouble.
