Remove Snowboy integration.

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.

Backend for detecting custom voice hotwords through Snowboy. The purpose of
this component is only to detect the hotword specified in your Snowboy voice
model. If you want to trigger proper assistant conversations or custom
speech recognition, you should create a hook in your configuration on
HotwordDetectedEvent to trigger the conversation on whichever assistant
plugin you're using (Google, Alexa...)
Manual installation for snowboy and its Python bindings if the installation via package fails::
$ [sudo] apt-get install libatlas-base-dev swig
$ [sudo] pip install pyaudio
$ git clone https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy
$ cd snowboy/swig/Python3
$ make
$ cd ../..
$ python3 setup.py build
$ [sudo] python setup.py install
You will also need a voice model for the hotword detection. You can find
some under the ``resources/models`` directory of the Snowboy repository,
or train/download other models from https://snowboy.kitt.ai.
