Abhijeet Kaur d2929b04ca Remove triage_message() function from all the contrib-bots. 
To make all bots consistent add shared function in bot_lib.py
to check if this bot is called. All bots respond to at-mention of
the bot instead of their specific names.

  3. random
    This command is used to fetch a random comic strip from xkcd. You can use this command by typing @xkcd random in a stream, xkcd bot will post a random xkcd comic strip.

  4. <comic_id>
    To fetch a comic strip based on id, you can directly use @xkcd <comic_id>, for example if you want to fetch a comic strip with id 1234, you can type @xkcd 1234, xkcd bot will post a comic strip with id 1234.
