* For a better jump link (#355)

* Update Python-API.md

* for a better jump in page

A space is needed between `#` and the headers content according to Github's markdown format [guideline](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/)

After adding the spaces, we can jump to the exact position in page by click the link.

1. merge python-package
2. add dump model to json
3. fix bugs
4. clean code with pylint
5. update python examples

Packages that parse LightGBM’s logs will require minor changes to
parsing logic to work correctly.

Fixed typo.
