Add article about message generation #360

Description

@filipsch

As you write chains of SCTs, every function 'contributes' to the feedback message that is generated in case the student made a mistake. All of these 'chunks' of feedback can be adjusted by setting arguments such as missing_msg, expand_msg and incorrect_msg.
An article should be added to pythonwhat that:

  • explains in understandable terms how message generation works
  • gives examples about it
  • explains how you can customize messages generated by the SCT
  • explains which automatically generated messages are not great and in which cases (e.g. when using has_equal_value() with set_context(), see Update incorrect_msg in has_expr when set_context/set_env used #317), and thus could use a custom message (for now).
