Examples as Arduino sketches: one folder per device type, each its own endpointId, Wi-Fi with a timeout

Light, DimmableLight, ColorTemperatureLight, ColorLight, TemperatureSensor, ContactSensor, Blind,
Thermostat, Lock, Scene, Doorbell and MultiDevice on the 2.0 API: addCapability(row, instance), one
onDirective() handler, the report helpers, ChangeReports from loop(), a deferred answer for the lock.
Wi-Fi is waited for 30 s, then the sketch says what to check and carries on.

examples/README.md has what each sketch does, its limits and the measured sizes for d1_mini: Light
takes 30,616 bytes of static RAM and 332,565 of flash; all 17 sketches build with 0 warnings.
test/test_examples compares the discovery object of every new sketch: 147 host tests (were 135).
The sketches were compiled, not run on a board.
