Standardize on a configuration format (actions use ini, snips daemons uses toml) #10

The /etc/snips.toml file is where a lot of central configuration options live for snips (e.g. which MQTT host to use). The file is in toml[1] format.

The snips actions-template system presumes that the action's config file will be a ini file (and is read by the ConfigParser module).

ConfigParser doesn't like importing toml files. For instance is throws ParsingError() when there's a space at the start of the line, and doesn't expect strings to be within quotes.

Using two different configuration systems means configs can't be shared (with a lot of manually-added boilerplate to read the toml file). It would be good to standardize, so that actions can easily read the same configs the snips daemons are using.

@anthonyray shouldn´t this be fixed with #18 ?
