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.

  • number can be any floating-point number, e.g. 12, 13.05, 0.002.
  • unit_from and unit_to are two units from the following table in the same category.
  • unit_from and unit_to can be preceded by these prefixes.

@convert 0.002 kilomile millimeter 0.002 kilomile = 3218688.0 millimeter
`@convert 31.5 square-mile ha 31.5 square-mile = 8158.4625 ha

Notes

  • You can use multiple @convert statements in a message, the response will look accordingly: multiple-converts

  • Enter @convert help to display a quick overview of the converter's functionality.

  • For bits and bytes, the prefixes change the figure differently: 1 kilobyte is 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte is 1048576 bytes, etc.
