Harrison Chase b7ae9f715d Langchain with reddit (#3661) (#3768)
I have added a reddit document loader which fetches the text from the
Posts of Subreddits or Reddit users, using the `praw` Python package. I
have also added an example notebook reddit.ipynb in order to guide users
to use this dataloader.
This code was made in format similar to twiiter document loader. I have
run code formating, linting and also checked the code myself for
different scenarios.

This is my first contribution to an open source project and I am really
excited about this. If you want to suggest some improvements in my code,
I will be happy to do it. :)
