Feature: Add get_selection() to MycroftSkill class

[krisgesling]

A common need for Skill developers is to present a list of options to the user and ask them to make a selection. This is possible using a combination of existing methods, however it requires each developer to work out their own pattern. Adding a standard method will make this easier for developers and provide a more consistent experience for users.

The current method generally involves:

1. Take list of items
2. Generate question dialog using join_list()
3. get_response() from user
4. validate response checking for:
   • fuzzy match of list item
   • ordinal or number eg "third item", or "number two"
5. return selected item, or execute on_fail callback
