* Send Alexa Smart Home responses to debug log

* Report scripts and groups as scenes to Alexa

The Alexa API docs have a couple display categories that sound relevant
to scenes or scripts:

    ACTIVITY_TRIGGER: Describes a combination of devices set to a
    specific state, when the state change must occur in a specific
    order.  For example, a “watch Neflix” scene might require the: 1. TV
    to be powered on & 2. Input set to HDMI1.

    SCENE_TRIGGER: Describes a combination of devices set to a specific
    state, when the order of the state change is not important. For
    example a bedtime scene might include turning off lights and
    lowering the thermostat, but the order is unimportant.

Additionally, Alexa has a notion of scenes that support deactivation.
This is a natural fit for groups, and scripts with delays which can be
cancelled.

The mechanism to map entities to the Alexa Discovery response is
refactored since extending the data structures in MAPPING_COMPONENT to
implement supportsDeactivation would have added complication to what I
already found to be a confusing construct.
