Instead of trying to track numlock ourselves, rely on the host telling us what
it thinks the state is. This is much more reliable than what we were doing, and
hopefully fixes most of - if not all - the issues we were having with NumLock.

I install GNU coreutils on my Macs, to get GNU `ls`. It also installs
a GNU-flavored `stty`, which wants `-F` instead of `-f`. Giving the
full path to the OS `stty` avoids issues in this case, and should be
consequence-free for folks that _don't_ have GNU coreutils installed.
Make Kaleidoscope_ a friend class, so that it can access .begin. The
reason behind this is that .begin is an interface towards
Kaleidoscope.use(), and that function should be the only user. To
discourage its use, make it protected.
This does not break any existing - and valid - code, but allows us to
slowly migrate the plugins to a protected begin() method.
Fixes#177.
I don't have write access, but through conversation with @Jennigma in the forum I've made a few changes above.
- I gave a first pass up to the Editing Keymaps part, then skimmed after there.
- I rearranged some sentences to try to fit more with the "voice" of the Keyboardio brand from its website, to the emails and tweets. It's a soft, friendly and inviting voice. Specifically I used a lot more "We", and tried to gracefully include lines like "uncompromising typists" and "heirloom-grade" (these distinctions left a powerful first impression on me). To be honest, I could spend A LOT more time doing that brand writing, it's so much fun. If there are parts that could be more "branded" let me know.
- I changed a few instances of "Keyboardio" to "Model 01", but perhaps not consistently, when I saw that "keyboardio" is lowercase in the Arduino board manager I wondered if I have over capitalized. If I thought a part of the software could apply to future Keyboardio-brand products I left it as "Keyboardio", and if it seemed very specific to this product I used "Model 01".
- I softened some parts, like removed the IDE part in the first paragraph, moving that to the Arduino introduction below.
- The only completely-removed line was about requiring cleverness and following instructions. I feel like those aren't required. The offers for support I've seen online suggest the non-clever would also get the help they need! Besides, the non-clever just use whatever flavour of rubber domes Dell is shipping this month amiright?! haha.
As discussed in #196, if we are making `KaleidoscopePlugin.begin` protected, we
might as well give it a better name. That name is `initialSetup`, and this
change is the first step towards the migration. It introduces `initialSetup`
which will call `begin` for now, and deprecate `begin`, which is no longer an
abstract function.
Once everyone migrated to the new name, we can remove `.begin`, and turn
`.initialSetup` into an abstract function.
