Dropped support for MicroPython

This revokes the experimental support for micropython. Going forward, it'd be better to rely on adafruit-blinka's progress toward micropython support (adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka#480) which is currently hindered for the same reason I'm revoking it here - the utime lib.

Other various changes include:

• revert all use of f-strings back to str.format().
• Complete type hinting. I'm worried this might break compatibility with much older versions of CircuitPython, but v6+ is highly recommended for execution speeds (v7+ is better with mpy compression).
• RF24 class uses allocated _in and _out buffers (instance attributes) for SPI transactions. This is based on some "pro-tips" about using micropython.
• various doc updates.
• improved network example to allow receiving while idling during emit()
• improve setup.py for MacOS installs
• allow saving/loading DHCP as a binary file. This should help people to migrate existing networks that use the C++ RF24Mesh library.

RF24Network, RF24Mesh, and RXing BLE #33

Adds new features

• RF24Network ported from TMRh20 C++ library (not WiFi compatible)
• RF24Mesh ported from TMRh20 C++ library (not BLE/802.11 mesh compatible)
• sniffing/receiving BLE payloads. This is still subject to the limitations of the nRF24L01 as have been outlined in the fake_ble module's docs.

See #33 for more details.

Also improved speed in certain aspects of the RF24 class.

patch update
