Subject: [PATCH] initialize Api.__auth fixes #119

This eliminates `AttributeError: 'Api' object has no attribute '_Api__auth'` errors by initializing `Api.__auth` to None. Now, setting the authentication parameters incorrectly results in the proper error message: `TwitterError: {'message': 'Api instance must first be given user credentials.'}`.
