Neon Core 22.05.2

Complete configuration overhaul to bring back OVOS and Mycroft skill compatibility.

The default Wake Word detector is now VOSK, which provides fewer false activations than Pocketsphinx. Other improvements include a new neon_utils with less legacy bloat, Kubernetes deployment improvements, a default demo skill, and better process management. Full changelog below.
