[WIP] Add `name` property to `source` object #456

Closed timmathews closed 6 years ago

timmathews commented 6 years ago

This adds a name property to the source object so that each NMEA 2000 (or other CAN bus protocol built on J1939) source has a consistent, static, and unique identifier even if the network is reconfigured or in the event of address contention.

See SignalK/n2k-signalk#16 and https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server-node/tree/canname for more background.
