Merge branch 'v2'

v2 is still not complete. A lot of cleanup still needs to be done.
In particular, entities still need some care. However, most of it
is there, and keeping up with two branches is annoying.
This also lets me close a lot of issues to reduce noise
and focus on the important ones.

Closes #354 (input entities have been reworked).
Closes #902 (sessions were overhauled).
Closes #1125, #3253, #1589, #1634, #3150, #3668 (updates are reworked, gaps are properly handled now).
Closes #1169 (2.0 is now merged).
Closes #1311 (proper usage should not trigger this issue on the reworked connection code).
Closes #1327 (there have been some stringify changes).
Closes #1330 (gaps are now detected).
Closes #1366 (sessions are now async).
Closes #1476, #1484 (asyncio open connection is no longer used).
Closes #1529 (commonmark is now used).
Closes #1721 (update gaps are now properly handled).
Closes #1724 (a gap that fixes this will eventually trigger).
Closes #3006 (force_sms is gone).
Closes #3041 (a clean implementation to get difference now exists).
Closes #3049 (commonmark is now used).
Closes #3111 (to_dict has changed).
Closes #3117 (SMS is no longer an option).
Closes #3171 (connectivity bug is unlikely to be a bug in the library).
Closes #3206 (Telethon cannot really fix broken SSL).
Closes #3214, #3257, #3661 (not enough information).
Closes #3215 (this had already been fixed).
Closes #3230, #3674 (entities were reworked).
Closes #3234, #3238, #3245, #3258, #3264 (the layer has been updated).
Closes #3242 (bot-API file IDs have been removed).
Closes #3244 (the error is now documented).
Closes #3249 (errors have been reworked).

What does telethon.sync do?
===========================
The moment you import any of these:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon import sync, ...
# or
from telethon.sync import ...
# or
import telethon.sync
The ``sync`` module rewrites most ``async def``
methods in Telethon to something similar to this:
.. code-block:: python
def new_method():
result = original_method()
if loop.is_running():
# the loop is already running, return the await-able to the user
return result
else:
# the loop is not running yet, so we can run it for the user
return loop.run_until_complete(result)
That means you can do this:
.. code-block:: python
print(client.get_me().username)
Instead of this:
.. code-block:: python
me = client.loop.run_until_complete(client.get_me())
print(me.username)
# or, using asyncio's default loop (it's the same)
import asyncio
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() # == client.loop
me = loop.run_until_complete(client.get_me())
print(me.username)
As you can see, it's a lot of boilerplate and noise having to type
``run_until_complete`` all the time, so you can let the magic module
to rewrite it for you. But notice the comment above: it won't run
the loop if it's already running, because it can't. That means this:
.. code-block:: python
async def main():
# 3. the loop is running here
print(
client.get_me() # 4. this will return a coroutine!
.username # 5. this fails, coroutines don't have usernames
)
loop.run_until_complete( # 2. run the loop and the ``main()`` coroutine
main() # 1. calling ``async def`` "returns" a coroutine
)
Will fail. So if you're inside an ``async def``, then the loop is
running, and if the loop is running, you must ``await`` things yourself:
.. code-block:: python
async def main():
print((await client.get_me()).username)
loop.run_until_complete(main())

combine all the libraries you want. People seem to forget this simple fact!
Why does client.start() work outside async?
===========================================
Because it's so common that it's really convenient to offer said
functionality by default. This means you can set up all your event
handlers and start the client without worrying about loops at all.
Using the client in a ``with`` block, `start
<telethon.client.auth.AuthMethods.start>`, `run_until_disconnected
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.run_until_disconnected>`, and
`disconnect <telethon.client.telegrambaseclient.TelegramBaseClient.disconnect>`
all support this.
