Firmata v1.3 for the Micro:bit

What's Changed

• Code.org Integration by @epeach in #3
• added vendorId for windows (0D28) by @cpietsch in #4
• Fixed the board revision lookup to include newer 2.20 and 2.21 boards
• Fixed the firmata version string to now use this format: [codal-microbit-v2=v0.2.49;softdeviceFWID=7.0.1~113] micro:bit Firmata 1.3 - Note; future releases may include other library versions in this string, so if firmata clients need a specific library they should scan for the library name in the semicolon delimited list then parse the version after the =.
• Corrected the version reported to 1.3 (was broken in 1.2)
• Updated the base CODAL version to v0.2.49
• Updated the client library and tests to use the new features listed here and to not use deprecated calls in the serial library

First Open Source Release

This is our first release using GitHub of microbit-firmata, based on the work John Maloney did for the Micro:bit Educational Foundation. It's the basis for further open source development, but works well for the core subset of the micro:bit features.
