Remove embedded dependencies about homie-esp8266 HOT 5 CLOSED

I know, I advised them to use semver. But until 3.0 is released, there is no reliable way to declare dependencies. And, PlatformIO is not very used yet.

I'm behind you on this. Mostly because I use platformio which makes it fairly easy to download required libs. I know the platformio project is brewing on building a framework for dependency management under embedded development (think npm, bower and composer for embedded)

Nice ! Will be clearly better without copy of dependency.

With arduino IDE library manager it's really trivial to install dependency (I'm quite sure that the 3 needed are available with the default config).

So yes, one step more to have a basic Homie example working. But it's a small one.

Another point : I'got a Homie device that also use Bounce2. If one include it naively (from arduino lib. dir) it do not compile (conflict with the homie/3rd/bounce)... Same could appear with the JSON lib.

Yes, I did not managed to import libraries into the Homie namespace, this is one of the reasons why I want not to embed dependencies.

Done in 9644a8c. I added a note in the Wiki, about dependencies.
