Brain Service Configuration

Programy provides the ability to define a number of services which can then be called from the 'sraix' tag. Each service is expected to be a basic REST API. The original AIML spec required the various configuration parameters to be embedded into the sraix tags, but this made changing them in multiple places difficult and error prone.

The configuration has therefore been extracted into the config file, and all that is required in the 'sraix' tag is to define the service name.
