0.8.1 - Multi language ready + German language support

Adds improvements to better support multiple languages and adds German as a new supported language for Alexa responses.

Thank you @mk-maddin!!!

Fix: Improves Catch All Error handling

Ensures that the skill will re-prompt the user if it cannot understand them, otherwise suggests they take a look at their configuration.

Fix: Resolve NoneType Errors

Resolves an issue where the custom skill may turn NoneType errors if called in quick succession. This was due to the Borg Singleton not checking if the ha_state was None and so not fetching the new state from Home Assistant.

Feat: Adds Person Detection

Major Release 0.6.0

This release adds person detection that allows for the custom skill to detect the user if Voice Profiles have been setup on your Amazon Alexa account.

Disclaimer: I will not be able to provide support for this feature as in my own testing it has been a little hit or miss at being able to reliably detect that I am the one speaking.
