Include `msg.projectLink.deviceId` if message sent by device #17

To help distinguish messages coming from multiple devices, we should include the deviceId as msg.projectLink.deviceId in the message sent by the Project In node.

This will have to be passed across in the userProperties object of the message as we cannot determine it from the received topic.

@knolleary busy with this one now.

Question: As well as adding deviceId I propose we also add deviceName and deviceType to msg.projectLink

Rationale: I may need to regenerate device.yml but dont want to modify flows to update the deviceId - instead I want to use deviceName since the named device "device-machine-1-monitor" never changes and sometimes I want to use the device type for actioning messages from specific device types.

Yup - sounds good.
