Alexa developer console has updated their intent json format

[aplocher]

Geemusic's intentSchema.json is using a deprecated format. When I load it into the new Alexa developer console, it says it has converted it for me (but it hasn't!).

Even though I'm configured to use the legacy developer console, when I click on the Interaction Model tab, it's forcing the new version of that tab upon me and requires the new format. All other tabs use the old ugly UI.

I noticed when I got switched to the new UI that you cant enter the utterances the same when with the old UI. Mostly meaning you cant enter all the text at once but have to key-pair everything step by step. Atleast in my version that I've seen. (And thats ~2 weeks ago)

[aplocher]

Not sure how it was 2 weeks ago, but the new UI has this code editor on the left. You can also optionally add each node visually which seems like it woudl take forever, but I guess it's handy for people who don't feel comfortable with a keyboard.

The syntax seems like it could be fixed with some carefully crafted search and replaces. I may try to fix this and do a pull request later if I get some time.

This is what my console has in it currently (presumably something it auto-upgraded form before), but when did a git pull on the geemusic repo to update it to the latest version my geemusic stopped working with some intent errors. I figured I needed to update the intent so I tried to go into the console and paste the latest one but it gets an error.

I'm using a UK echo so I needed to add the slot types manually. I'll open a PR of the non-US interactionModel.json soon which includes the slot type lists.

[laurilarjo]

Here's the pull request #203 which builds on @aplocher 's work.

[fergyfresh]

Updated new interaction model. Moot point issue now.
