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.

Lots of things were already under the `kaleidoscope` namespace, but were in the
"wrong" directory. This big patchset moves everything under `kaleidoscope/`, and
namespaces `Layers_`. There are a few un-namespaced things, but because their
use is so widespread, and they're used so commonly, we don't want to namespace
those (like `handleKeyswitchEvent`), at least not yet.
As a minor side-effect, this moves a few global statics that were once in
`Layers.cpp` into the `Layer_` class itself, for clarity and encapsulation.
Non-namespaced headers that were used outside of Kaleidoscope itself will still
work, but will emit a compile-time warning.

This is not directly used by Kaleidoscope itself, but we provide the hook from
here, for the sake of convenience. It will be used by plugins such as
`Kaleidoscope-FocusSerial`, in much the same way as Focus hooks were used
previously.
This does change the architecture a bit, and the `FOCUS_HOOK_KALEIDOSCOPE` focus
hook previously provided by Kaleidoscope itself is something that no longer
belongs to core, but rather to a plugin. As such, the hook is removed as part of
this patch.

Scheduled for removal on 2018-08-20, this drops the V1 API and all deprecation
messages. We only keep one message, that errors out in case
`KALEIDOSCOPE_ENABLE_V1_PLUGIN_API` is set. Also drops `Consumer_SNapshot`,
which was a typo'd name.
`UPGRADING.md` updated accordingly.

`Consumer_SNapshot` really should have been `Consumer_Snapshot`, so lets fix it.
However, the typo'd name is left in place as an alias, in order to not break any
existing user code, however unlikely the use of this key is.
Sadly, we can't easily add a deprecation warning, because key_defs.h, which
defines `Key`, depends on `key_defs_consumerctl.h`, so we'd end up with a
circular dependency if we tried to add a deprecation.
Fixes#339.

As per UPGRADE.md, remove `Kaleidoscope.setup(KEYMAP_SIZE)`,
`event_handler_hook_use`, `loop_hook_use`, `USE_PLUGINS`, `MOMENTARY_OFFSET`,
`key_was_pressed`, `key_is_pressed`, `key_toggled_on`, and `key_toggled_off`.
These were deprecated between July and October 2017, and have been marked for
deletion for over a month.
Also updated UPGRADE.md, moving the section about these to a new, "deprecated
and removed" section.

We do not want user code having to deal with KeyboardHardware, so wrap
.detachFromHost and .attachToHost ourselves.

Many plugins use timers, and most of them will call `millis()`, which isn't
wrong, but isn't the most efficient either. While `millis()` isn't terribly
expensive, it's not cheap either. For most cases, we do not need an exact timer,
and one updated once per cycle is enough - which is what `.millisAtCycleStart()`
is. Having a timer that is consistent throughout the whole cycle may also be
beneficial.

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.

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.
