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.
This adds several refinements to the listening sound mechanism added by:
* Added a default sound file
* Allowing various ways to override "resource files" for customization
* Moved the sound configuration path from "confirm_ding" to
"sounds" > "start_listening"
* Also added "sounds" > "end_listening" configuration for the future
This submission adds the new mycroft.util.resolve_resource_file(res_name)
method. This method takes a name such as "snd/start_listening.wav" and
looks (in order):
* For an absolute path <res_name>
* For ~/.mycroft/<res_name>
* For /opt/mycroft/<res_name>
* For mycroft/res/<res_name> within the source package

* Listen confirmation
If enabled, will play a wave file to confirm that Mycroft is listening
* Listen confirmation ding config options
* Rename config option
* Update mycroft.conf
* Type: Rename config option
* Missing imports
Whoops, forgot them (was copying edits since I didn't have my dev environment set up)
* Removing unnecessary import functions
For the Weather Skill:
* When talking about the current city, the city name is generally not spoken (more natural)
* A "pretty" name of just the city is used instead of the complete name
* Works around the recurring issue with OWM where they report bad min/max temps (same as the current temp)
* Changed "Location is not valid" to "I don't know that location" (people don't say "not valid")
For the Time Skill:
* The timezone is extracted from the device location setting
* Time responses are more varied and shorter
This change adds MycroftSkill.location_pretty and MycroftSkill.location_timezone properties.
* "Input:" doesn't get intermingled with the output (usually -- long pauses can still cause it to happen)
* "Output:" is now displayed
* Ctrl+C is handled gracefully
#372 - dev_setup.sh ignores WORKON_HOME when VIRTUALENV_ROOT is unset
- Favor using the WORKON_HOME environment variable over VIRTUALENV_ROOT
- Specifying the name of the virtualenv directory
- Postfixing VIRTUALENV_ROOT with "/mycroft"
