[#284 ] Merged assistant.google plugin and backend. cce6c4c5ad

This removes the deprecated `assistant.google` backend and also adds a
new `conversation_start_sound` parameter.

Removed deprecated google.assistant.pushtotalk plugin. b46c00f015

It only existed as a back-compatibility layer with armv6, since there
was no build of the assistant library that worked on Raspberry Pi Zero.

But that API layer has been discontinued by Google and it's no longer
functional, so only the `assistant.google` integration (on x86_64 and
armv7) is currently supported.

Added updated configuration snippet for assistant.google plugin. 645e8c8f77

Remove Snowboy integration. 2c8b06e471

It hurts to see it go, as I really believed in this project.

But the website of the project went away in 2020, the Github project
hasn't seen any activity since 2021, and the fork that is supposed to be
used as a replacement for training .pmdl models hasn't been updated
since 2021 - and it only supports Python 2 on Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04.

One day I may dedicate some efforts to bring Snowboy back to life, but
until then it's definitely not in a state where it's usable for a
Platypush integration.

[assistant.google] Added doc on how to configure audio devices. fb017a8b35

Removed Alexa/AVS integration. 4c0e3a16b6

The integration was based on my old fork of the AVS service, which is no
longer functional given the changes the the Amazon's backend side.

A new `avs-device-sdk` is now available, but it seems that it requires
lengthy compilation processes which are RaspberryPi-specific.

Further investigation is needed for a new Alexa plugin - see #334.
