Mycroft AI Chromecast Skill - WIP

A skill to connect with and control a chromecast device connected to the same local network as Mycroft.

This skill is a work in progress and should be considered pre-alpha. The play media feature is currently hardcoded for testing purposes since it requires a URL.
