Rearranged a little, so deprecation is a section, and we can put other things,
notes, into the document. With the rearrangement, added a section about the new
plugin API, and explained the API version bump too.

Due to the plugin API redesign, plugins that migrate may want to ensure they are
compiled against a recent enough Kaleidoscope. Others may opt to provide
separate implementations for each version. For this to work, we need to bump the
API version.

Fixed a conditional so that the event handlers of old-style plugins will be
called. Without this, they don't, and old-style plugins that install event
handlers, would not work.

With this redesign, we introduce a new way to create plugins, which is easier to
extend with new hook points, provides a better interface, uses less memory, less
program space, and is a tiny bit faster too.
It all begins with `kaleidoscope::Plugin` being the base class, which provides
the hook methods plugins can implement. Plugins should be declared with
`KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS` instead of `Kaleidoscope.use()`. Behind this macro
is a bit of magic (see the in-code documentation) that allows us to unroll the
hook method calls, avoid vtables, and so on. It creates an override for
`kaleidoscope::Hooks::*` methods, each of which will call the respective methods
of each initialized plugin.
With the new API come new names: all of the methods plugins can implement
received new, more descriptive names that all follow a similar pattern.
The old (dubbed V1) API still remains in place, although deprecated. One can
turn it off by setting the `KALEIDOSCOPE_ENABLE_V1_PLUGIN_API` define to zero,
while compiling the firmware.
This work is based on #276, written by @noseglasses. @obra and @algernon did
some cleaning up and applied a little naming treatment.

This can be used to see the effect of changes on the core firmware alone,
without any plugins or the like.

Use a timeout calculation method that is not affected by overflow, and also
requires 16 bits less.
This likely fixes#8.

Ticks depend on the speed of the main loop, and as such, are not a reliable way
to time animations. For this reason, use proper timers instead.
The update delay is set to 40ms, which appears to be a slow, relaxing animation,
and should be roughly in the ballpark the tick-based timing was, before speeding
up the main loop considerably.
Fixes#3.

This warp mode is similar to the navigation provided by some speech
recognition software. A 9-cell grid may provide more precision and
efficiency than the existing 4-cell warp mode. This adds some extra
key definitions to support the additional sectors and enables a user
to switch the grid size:
MouseKeys.setWarpGridSize(MOUSE_WARP_GRID_3X3);

Based on #306, with slightly improved text. Thanks to Ross Donaldson
(@Gastove) for the original pull request!
Closes#306.

With the previous algorithm, once every 65 seconds, there would be a significant jump in
the brightness of the "breathing" LEDs as the 16-bit value recorded from `millis()`
overflowed. Instead of dividing by 12, I changed it to a bit shift (4 bits; equivalent to
division by 16), so when the integer overflow occurs, the next value is what it should be.
This is a somewhat unwieldy fix for all the out of bounds (attempted) array addressing at
both ends. When `pos` goes out of bounds in either direction, the test is the same because
it's an unsigned integer. However, after the change of direction, the trailing LED will
still be out of bounds, so we check that every time we call `setCrgbAt()` for `pos2`.
It's rather ugly, but it does ensure that we don't call `setCrgbAt()` with an
out-of-bounds address.
