It can now be used to add 3rd-party arduino libraries located outside the SDK, or having a name that doesn't comply with the current used scheme (Will be fixed soon). On the same note - Added an example that uses a 3rd-party/custom arduino library, leveraging the above.
It instructs it to find the library without altering its' name to an "Arduino-Compliant" name.

Until this PR, 3rd Party Arduino libraries have been treated as user libraries, which are different.
The problem is that even though they're 3rd party, those libraries conform to the Arduino library standard, include the required
library.propertiesfile and have a very similar source structure to the Built-in libraries.Moreover, they're usually dependent on an Arduino platform, which requires them to be "first-class" libraries.
Now, these libraries can be treated as they should by calling the
add_arduino_libraryfunction.The downside of this API is that one would have to manually pass the library's sources, but on the other hand - It gives it the freedom to store the library anywhere it'd like in the host system.
If however a user still wants to keep using the
find_arduino_libraryAPI, it can do so by placing the 3rd party library directory under the SDK's libraries directory, and pass the3RD_PARTYoption to the function.This PR also added an example using a 3rd party library named Adafruit_NeoPixel.
Fixes #17.
