Reduce boilerplate in the sketch

To start the discussion to resolve #5 and #6. This will also allow us to have unified examples for all platforms.

Later on, we could also use this class to make the Azure SDK API's more Arduino style instead of C.

@stefangordon @obsoleted please review and provide feedback. I've tested on a MKR1000, and made sure the new example compiles on other supported platforms.

@ladyada there is potential to remove use of Adafruit_WINC1500 library in this library and just use WiFi101 if the variant for the "Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi" board defines following WINC1500 pin values like the MKR1000: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/blob/master/variants/mkr1000/variant.h#L137-L143

ok - i'll try it!
can we also update all the examples to not have a 10 second wait on wifi connect? its often 2 seconds, and it makes the WINC seems slower than it really is :)

@ladyada please create an issue in the WiFi101 library to discuss this. From my testing the delay seems unnecessary for unsuccessful connection. I've been using:

  while (WiFi.begin(ssid, pass) != WL_CONNECTED) {
    // unsuccessful, retry in 4 seconds
    Serial.print("failed ... ");
    delay(4000);
    Serial.print("retrying ... ");
  }

After discussing with @cmaglie we should not have WiFi configuration code inside the library. I'm closing this and will propose something else.

@sandeepmistry ok will make new issue for delay thingy, i definitely noticed delay makes a difference and it drove me a little nuts to wait 💃

as for the WiFi101 thingy, whatever you like. i strongly prefer passing in the pin names as args (and you can default them if you like) but just lemme know and ill update/delete fork/whatever 👍

@ladyada let's get a discussion going in the WiFi101 repo for this as well
