enable components at runtime + grabber refactoring (#160)

* implement enable/disable on runtime for:
- smoothing
- kodi
- udplistener
- boblight

* implement enable/disable for forwarder
refactor component

* - implement grabber enable/disable at runtime
- big grabber refactoring. now with common base class for all grabbers

* implement enable/disable at runtime for bb detector

* osx fix

* try to fix cutted travis output for osx build
