Description: Add the ability for simple commands to be issued without a trigger. Initially just support "Stop" and "Pause", which would trigger generic signals which any Skill can catch. Later consider a system for Skills adding their own single-word commands.

Discussion:

proposal:

• add any number of hot words to config

• hot word can be any engine (snowboy/pocketsphinx)

• hot word can trigger listening or not

• hot word can play a sound or not

• hot word can be treated as full utterance or not

Missing:

• WakeWordFactory should be made for several wake word engines
• Snowboy support in core, it is not free so i don't know how to approach it, available in jarbas fork

Extra:
