Title: Added support for direct messages in twitter notifications

I have added support for the use of direct messages over twitter instead of the publicly visible tweets. I highly doubt that my followers are in any way interested which movies my CouchPotatoServer snatched or downloaded :)
The commit adds an advanced option checkbox to use direct messages and will by default be off to keep the current way of working. When checked, it will send a direct message to the user represented by the 'Screen name' instead of a tweet. When a 'Mention' is filled in, it will replace all '@' and ',' occurrences by spaces and also send a direct message to each mentioned user found by splitting the resulting string on whitespaces.

Note: while I am an experienced Java developer, I am new to Python and the use of github. I hope I offered my contribution in a correct manner and that you may find it useful.
