New Time API and Updated Examples

This release adds Adafruit IO CircuitPython support for the new Adafruit IO Time API.

• Calling receive_time returns localized time to the CircuitPython RESTClient, based on the device's IP address, as a struct_time](https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/3.x/shared-bindings/time/__init__.html#time.struct_time) #19

• Note: The previous /time endpoint returned a plaintext response, instead of json. This release removes plaintext-handling from the library.

• Updated all examples to match the Adafruit IO naming scheme in the PyPortal's secrets.py file.

To use in CircuitPython, simply install the Adafruit CircuitPython bundle.

Adding User-Agent and Header Handling

• Append a User-Agent (Adafruit-IO CircuitPython specific) for this library onto existing request headers for the server to identify CircuitPython clients.
• Added a new _create_headers method for HTTP requests to reflect correct header encoding in the Adafruit ESP32SPI dependency (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_ESP32SPI/releases/tag/1.3.4).

Adafruit IO for CircuitPython

Initial release of Adafruit IO CircuitPython.

• This library will allow a WiFi-connected CircuitPython microcontroller to communicate with the Adafruit IO REST API.
• Supports WiFi using the ESP32SPI CircuitPython library
• Added examples for interacting with Adafruit IO Groups, sending data to feeds, including metadata (such as timestamps and location) with data sent to IO, interacting with digital outputs, and getting weather data from the Adafruit IO Plus Dark Sky service
