Scene change example using flowman

This is an example of using flowman to load a set of flows, delete a set of flows, and save a set of template flows (in preparation for loading them). Note that whilst making this, I find that flowman/addflow and flowman/delflow don't like to be pumped with messages too quickly - I think because of the async nature of the underlying NR flow saving mechanism. So I put in 1 msg per sec rate limiting; not an ideal solution.

Requires node-red-contrib-flowman
