Release 0.7.1 - Updated filter and added enhancedSkip for the appletv…

…-enhanced plugin (#715)

Adding two new features to the package:

1 - Enhance the filter option to accept multiple hosts eg. '192.168.1.122:51826' or '192.168.1.11:51551, 192.168.1.11:46047'

2 - Add the ability to use the wording Alexa, skip tv to select an on screen skip button. ie the skip button that appears when watching YouTube videos after a few seconds. This can be enabled with the enhancedSkip option and the appletv-enhanced plugin.

3 - Homebridge 2.0 support
