LUIS cognitive service integration for better conversations

[kosperera]

So far we have a limitation with what users can say to the bot. With Cognitive Services such as LUIS we can have more flexibility on this. Few improvements that it will bring to the bot;

• Get rid of the command and control type chat conversations
• Get rid of hashtag mentions for jira tasks, time spent, and the days and specific dates.
• Extending conversations such as sign me in as kosalap instead of just saying sign in and then wait till the bot asks for the username or email.

Trouble in paradise with the builtin datetime entity of LUIS. Need to figure out a way to convert possible values to JS date. I have post a question on SO and waiting for a response.

Got a straight forward way to fix the builtin dates, including days specified, since the days are converted into actual dates by the Cognitive Service.
