Move botscan over to streaming API #21

Tool may produce inaccurate results until this is completed, as it currently is using the search API.

Make search API an option but default to streaming API.

This has been concluded as of commit #62c2a7603e9115443136ee9270d97a16471bd69c. Using the search API is still an option but the tool defaults to the streaming API.

This was necessary because the search API filters low quality tweets, which was rendering the bot detection inaccurate. Streaming does not have this filter, thus ensuring accurate measurements.

Closing issue.
