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 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.
