parse @mention thanks as well as thanks @mention

[dcsan]

people often type like:

@terabyte thanks, will check out the readme

that should be picked up / filtered in the same way as normal thanks @xx
use a regex to match in the whole input.
we may have to add another part to the "parseInput" section to handle these

dupe of #35

write a GBot.scanInput function, similar to the parseInput
search for thanks anywhere inside a message.
get the @mention people in that message
send karma to them

[dcsan]

ok bit more thoughts on how to do this.

the scanInput method gets called on every message currently:
https://github.com/dcsan/gitterbot/blob/master/nap/data/rooms/RoomMessages.js#L105-L112

however, the "thanks" response is not just static text - its a function.
so we could modify the entries in the

 var SharedMessages = {

to also return functions, as well as just static text. its a bit meta but i think this would be a really versatile way to implement this and allow us to have keywords trigger functions.

@irinatag the code for roomMessages is now using regex pls check it out!

[irinatag]

@dcsan sure!

[dcsan]

I made some more changes to it, please pull from branch 28

[dcsan]

so this works now with for example the 'txtx' and a @username but can you add a better regex to find the format above on @username thanks and maybe some other options people may type in.

i had to merge in master which included some other changes. this area needs refactoring i think.
@oab00 FYI on this above commit.

[dcsan]

oops, this commit 0ec2592

quite a gnarly merge

[irinatag]

@dcsan ok, thanks for doing that! I'll work on it.

@dcsan pushed my regex. one issue that's now popping up: the warning that I already gave you points gets logged, but doesn't display to the user.

not sure if you have a ticket for that yet. otherwise, seems to be working, but I'm also a regex noob.

[dcsan]

if you see problems like that it should definitely be a separate issue, or its too hard to track lots of things on one ticket.
