/**
 * Initialize a new ConversationInfo data, usually upon new chat request.
 * This will contain meaningful information about the request being processsed
 * and get regularly updated as the request progresses.
 *
 * This will hold references to:
 * - the bot's data,
 * - the current status of the request (steps, messages, variables, context...)
 * - the DB to use for data persistence
 * - the cached Curl connexion to the configured callback_url, if any
 *
 * This method takes care of the initialization of the data as well as setting up
 * some information in the database (conversation_id, metadata, state...).
