examples: one runnable file per recipe on the 2.0 API, the 1.x files in examples/legacy

Ten recipes: lamp, colour lamp, thermostat, blind, lock (deferred), contact
sensor (ChangeReport), scene, doorbell (raise), typed errors, and a plug as an
ES module. Each reads ALEX2MQTT_USERNAME, _PASSWORD and _ROOT_TOPIC and names
the ones that are missing. The nine examples of 1.5.2 move to examples/legacy
unchanged.

test/examples.test.js starts every file with node, its broker connection sent
to a broker on 127.0.0.1 (test/helpers/loopback.js), discovers the device,
sends directives and checks the answers. A legacy file is started and its
discovery compared with the answer the 1.5.2 build gave, recorded in
test/fixtures/legacy-examples.

# Examples
One file per recipe, on the 2.0 API. Each file is complete: it declares one device, answers its directives and
connects. The state of the device is an object in the file, which you replace with what drives your device.
| File | Device | Interfaces | Shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| [lamp.js](lamp.js) | lamp | PowerController, BrightnessController | handlers, `device.state()`, `ctx.respond()` |
| [color-lamp.js](color-lamp.js) | colour lamp | + ColorController, ColorTemperatureController | a state that depends on the mode of the device |
| [thermostat.js](thermostat.js) | thermostat | ThermostatController, TemperatureSensor | one setpoint, three modes, temperature scales |
| [blind.js](blind.js) | roller blind | RangeController | an instance, friendly names, semantics for open and close |
| [lock.js](lock.js) | lock | LockController | `ctx.defer()` for an answer that takes longer than 7 seconds |
| [sensor.js](sensor.js) | contact sensor | ContactSensor | `device.changeReport()` |
| [scene.js](scene.js) | scene | SceneController | ActivationStarted and DeactivationStarted |
| [doorbell.js](doorbell.js) | doorbell | DoorbellEventSource | `device.raise()` |
| [errors.js](errors.js) | fan | PowerController, RangeController | `AlexaErrors`, `ctx.error()` |
| [plug.mjs](plug.mjs) | plug | PowerController | the library as an ES module |
## Run one
The examples read the MQTT user name, the password and the root topic of your Alex2MQTT account from the
environment, and say which variable is missing:
```sh
ALEX2MQTT_USERNAME=... ALEX2MQTT_PASSWORD=... ALEX2MQTT_ROOT_TOPIC=... node examples/lamp.js
```
In a checkout of this repository `npm install` comes first: it builds `dist/`, which `require("alex2node")` resolves
to. Then discover the devices in the Alexa app.
`sensor.js` and `doorbell.js` wait for the Enter key: it opens and closes the door, and rings the bell.
`lock.js` takes `BOLT_SECONDS`, the time its bolt needs, 8 by default.
## What was tested
`test/examples.test.js` starts every file with `node`, against a broker on 127.0.0.1, discovers the device, sends
it directives and checks the answers. The examples were not run against an Alexa account. `doorbell.js` publishes
to `<root>/event`, and whether a press reaches Alexa depends on the Alex2MQTT service relaying that topic.
## 1.x
[legacy/](legacy) has the nine examples of 1.5.2, on the 1.x API.

# Examples of 1.5.2
The nine examples of alex2node 1.5.2, as they were. They run on 2.0 through its compat layer, which keeps the 1.x
API: `registerDevice()`, `addCapability()`, the `Event` and `ReportState` listeners, `getStatusMessage()` and
`getErrorMessage()`. `test/examples.test.js` starts each of them and compares its discovery answer with the one
1.5.2 gave; 2.0 adds the `Alexa` interface at the end of the capabilities and changes nothing else in them.
They read `MQTT_USERNAME`, `MQTT_PASSWORD` and `MQTT_ROOT_TOPIC` from the environment or from a `.env` file, with
`dotenv`, which is a development dependency of this repository.
For a new program use the examples one directory up. [docs/wire-changes.md](../../docs/wire-changes.md) lists what
a 1.x program can observe of 2.0.
