Instead of having to define `HARDWARE_IMPLEMENTATION` to the class name of the
device, and define `KeyboardHardware` from within the plugin, let all devices
set `kaleidoscope::Device` to their own class via a typedef. Furthermore,
instead of `KeyboardHardware`, use `Kaleidoscope.device()` instead. This makes
device plugins a little bit simpler, and our naming more consistent.
Because some parts of the firmware need to access the device object before the
`Kaleidoscope` object is available, we can't make it a member of that. For this
reason, the device object is `kaleidoscope_internal::device`, and
`Kaleidoscope.device()` wraps it. In general, the wrapper should be used. But if
access to the device is required before `Kaleidoscope` is available, then that's
also available.
The `Kaleidoscope` object grew a few more wrappers: `storage()` and
`serialPort()`, so that one doesn't need to use `Kaleidoscope.device()`
directly, but can use the wrappers, which are noticably shorter to write.

In preparation for making Serial access configurable on a per-board basis,
introduce `KeyboardHardware.serialPort()`, which - for the time being - returns
the Serial object.
All users of Serial have been updated to use the new API.

The examples were recently reorganized, but the documentation was not updated,
so some of them were pointing to dangling, obsolete places. This updates them
all to point to the correct locations.

For easier navigation of changes, this introduces `NEWS.md`, a high-level
overview of important or otherwise noteworthy changes. It is a short list only,
with just the bare minimum of details. The new `UPGRADING.md` on the other hand,
is a much more detailed document, and contains the upgrade notes from plugins
too. The plugin docs now document the current version of the plugins only.
The intent is to have both a short overview (`NEWS.md`), and a detailed
guide (`UPGRADING.md`). The former will contain historical entries too, while
the later is meant to be an upgrade guide from the previous version to the most
recent one, with old notes eventually removed.
Fixes#436.

Updates the example and dependency links in the documentation, to use URLs that
are valid within the monorepo.

Move the documentation to `doc/plugin/Syster.md`, sources under
`src/kaleidoscope/plugin/` (appropriately namespaced). This is in preparation of
merging plugins into a single monorepo.
