Research direction

Start with the reproduction in routes/botman.php and the contactRelationUpdate event handler. Add the handler, connect a BotFramework bot to Skype, and observe whether adding the bot triggers the callback and sends the welcome reply. Done means the documented event fires for a new Skype contact.
