Bot-Backbone

Changes for version 0.160630 - 2016-03-03

Bot::Backbone::Service::JabberChat has been moved to a separate release for installation.
Bot::Backbone::Service::IRChat has been moved to a separate release for installation.
To make effective use of this bot framework, you probably want to install one of the chat engine services: JabberChat, IRChat, or SlackChat. If you just want to play with a command-line bot, then you can just install this module by itself and use ConsoleChat.
Removed the examples in eg... they were red herrings.
