Documentation and Ease of Use

Tutorial for cross-compiling a Xively Client application onto Texas Instruments CC3200 on Windows and macOS has been added to doc/ directory.

Added commandline build capability on Windows using TI ARM toolchain.

Ubuntu Build dependency steps are added to README.md.

Removed out of date project files for IAR IDE and for STM32 evaluation platforms.

Documentation and Ease of Use

The Xively C Client is now Open Source, distributed under the BSD 3-Clause license.
Finalized our Board Support Package (BSP) implementation. This new system should massively reduce any porting effort of the Xively C Client by focusing platform-specific customizations to a select few files.
README.md file has been updated serving as a first-step introduction.
User Guide added to doc/ directory as a markdown file.
Porting Guide added to doc/ directory as a markdown file.
Doxygen documentation is now pre-generated in the doc/doxygen folder. It is provided in two main sections:
1. API documentation for building client applications that use the Xively Service
2. the Board Support Package (BSP) documentation for porting the Xively C Client to new platforms.
Default make target now builds the Xively C Client for POSIX and fetches, downloads and compiles WolfSSL automatically. Note: Autotools are required to build WolfSSL.
Default make target's only goal is to build the Xively C Client static library itself without examples and tests.
- To build tests, execute make tests
- To build examples, cd to ``examples/and runmake`.
Created help make targets as a resource for people attempting to navigate our make system. Type make help for more information.

Build presets were introduced to ease handling of the multi target and configuration make system. run make help_build_presets for more information.
More developer friendly ARM cross compilation on MacOS and Linux.
Output libxively.a new location is the bin subdirectory.
Clearer BSP directory structure: New layout of src/bsp directory has been developed. It contains two subfolders:
1. src/bsp/platform for all platform specific implementations (such as network, memory, time, RNG.). New reference implementations are provided for posix, wmsdk, and microchip TCP.
2. src/bsp/tls for support of third party TLS implementations. Reference implementations are provided for WolfSSL and mbedTLS.
Library size reductions:
- removed redundant implementation of the vector data structure
- new BSP architecture removed unneeded code infrastructure.
Simplified make build system
Code reformatted based on .clang-format file in base directory of repository.
Removed a ranlib build warning on OSX.
