[BUG] Docs confusingly suggest that message_reaction and message_reaction_count are included in webhook updates by default

[mbanerjeepalmer]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Read docs which say that for allowed_updates you should 'Specify an empty sequence to receive all updates except telegram.Update.chat_member (default).'
2. Leave allowed_updates empty (i.e. do not specify parameter at all).

Expected behaviour

Given the python-telegram-bot docs, the user expects the webhook to deliver message_reaction and message_reaction_count.

Actual behaviour

The webhook is not set up to deliver message reactions. This is because Telegram's default behaviour is actually the following:

Specify an empty list to receive all update types except chat_member, message_reaction, and message_reaction_count (default). If not specified, the previous setting will be used.

Do you want to PR against doc-fixes and change it?

Can do

Please, can you update the docs for run_polling too for the same parameter?

hey @mbanerjeepalmer, are you still working on this? We're nearing a new release so it would be nice to include this as well.

@harshil21 PR opened. Black was giving me weird line lengths so there are some unnecessary line breaks, let me know if that needs fixing.
