Consider adding UART mode support #6

This is a todo to add UART mode support to the library. See section 4.7 of the datasheet for the details, it's just a simple I2C framing protocol over a serial connection. This is really handy to have for devices that have problems with I2C clock stretching which the BNO sensor uses, like perhaps the ESP8266 (see https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Sensor/issues/8#issuecomment-120691115 and https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/526).

Maybe this is useful? https://github.com/ttww/BNO055_AT_Commands_Orientation_Bluetooth_Server But you need a small "converter" 'duino...

I did this for great UART transport between two including correctly getting every packet: locate Arduino OSC packages and see SLIP serial example. With this u can send various structured data JSON-like over any two pins (RX/TX) between any two devices. If you have wireless, it can be wireless, of course.
