BotConnector to reset a session

See original GitHub issue

Is there a way I can make BotConnector to forger a user it is connecting with. Meaning, reset it’s session.

For example, I would like to use /stop command to completely forget a user, but next time user initiate a chat, the bot will act as this is a first interaction.

I know I could have a flag as session.firstRun as in the examples, but I wonder if there is a cleaner way.

@wiltodelta skype and slack eating / command as their commands. you can put a space in front of command /deleteprofile in slack and skype to make sure that it is delivered to connector.

@mikkhait session.reset() in node code should reset the callstack and begin a new dialog based on passed in dialogId with the user.

BotConnector supports a native /deleteprofile command. if a user sends this command to the bot, the connector will confirm the delete action with the user and sends a message with the type of DeleteUserData to the bot. The bot should delete all the data related to that user in its storage space and send a reply with the same message type to BotConnector. As a result, next time that the user talks to the bot, he/she will look like a new user.
