Version 2.9.1 alexa-smart-screen-sdk

*** Bug Fixes ***
* Fixed hold-to-talk event handling logic in the native layer to keep it in sync with GUI

*** Enhancements ***
* Upgraded dependency to APL Client Library 1.8.3
* Upgraded nanoid version to 3.2.0, minimist version to 1.2.6 and refreshed the package-lock.json with new dependencies. Note that users upgrading to this version will need to remove the existing node modules from modules/GUI/js/node_modules before the build.
