Add stop method

[0xCA]

Once the bot is created it runs forever and there is no way to stop it. Please add this ability.

This ability is not responsibility of this library. Whereas, the native function process.exit() is able to terminate any process regardless of what is keeping it active try to use it this way:

const telegram = require('telegram-bot-api');
const api = new telegram({
        token: ''
});
api.sendPhoto({
    chat_id,
    photo: './img.jpg',
  }).then(()=>process.exit())

In case you don't need to receive updates. Another even simpler way is:

var api = new telegram({
        token: '',
        updates: {
            enabled: false
        }

});

The process will end after executing all the api-calls in the script

Stop functionality for getUpdates and webhook will be available in 2.0 which is under development
