Main CLI enhancements:
* Microphone meter
* Long log line left/right scrolling
* Eliminated flicker
* VT100 ESC key code support (used by some terms)
In addition, to achieve the meter it was necessary to implement a mechanism for local Inter Process Communication (IPC). This is achieved using the file-system. By default a folder structure is created under /tmp/mycroft/ipc, but it can be directed to somewhere else by setting the config value in mycroft.conf:
"ipc_path" : "/path/to/somewhere"
In the future, Mark 1 and Picroft will get RAM disks to avoid burning out the SD card. This is also a very fast communication mechanism. This is all hidden under util.get_ipc_directory()
Further, the named signal mechanism was changed to use the IPC folder. The signal can have a lifetime now (not just one shot).
NOTE: this doesn't check for disk space and doesn't clean up
file stored in /tmp/ called mycroft_wake_sucess<time>.wav
TODO: some cleanup should be considered.

Max recording time is now 10 seconds instead of 30. This deals with cases where a noisy background prevents the listener's silence detection from triggering. 30 seconds was WAAY too long to keep listening -- nobody is going to be saying something that long for now.
