* Ed/req_resp_examples_and_fixes (#41)

* feat: Added a request_response_flow example and fixed a few issues along the way

* feat: Reworked the broker_request_response built-in ability of components to be simpler. Instead of having to have a defined flow and then name that flow, it will automatically create a flow with a single broker_request_response component in it. Now there is a straightforward interating function call to allow components to issue a request and get streaming or non-streaming responses from that flow.
