Updating definition of "following" in twarc2 docs?

See original GitHub issue

Currently the definition of following in twarc2 docs is:

following Get the users who are following a given user.

But presuming this corresponds to GET friends/list in Twitter API perhaps it might be clearer if this read:

following Get the users who are followed by a given user.

I’m not sure why, but this fits my brain better:

following Get the users that a given user is following.

Maybe because it ties the name of the subcommand to the description?
