Support easy playing of user favourites by name

e.g.
play BBC Radio 4
play The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show

Possibly flattening hierarchies too (though this would be harder):
(e.g. from Songs / On mysqueezebox.com)
play The Nearness of You
play Megadeth

Support favourites on server (#27)
16c34af 
 * Server-side only done
 * Introduce better parser for structured data with typing
 * Re-work exising player data parsing to use this
 * Add `favorites` dict to the server, lazy loading
 * Filter non-playable (i.e. _doesn't_ currently support nested favourites)
 * Make fake server more realistic
 * Increase existing testing a little
 * Update local tester to spit these out

FYI I tried this out and to date even though it worked, the VUI got much less relibable since all the utterances were too similar to some of the existsing ones for Alexa to distinguish reliably, so I found the overall experience was worsened.

Perhaps my use case here would be better served by a subset of favourites (e.g. just radio ones), or perhaps just playing streams from the BBC app 😄 - these would have more unique sounding utterances I imagine.
