Update the demo mode color wheel, to help teachers identify new firmware #7

When we version-bump the Circuit Playground Firmata firmware, what do you think about changing up the color wheel? My goal is to let teachers tell at a glance (when they plug in a board) if it's been updated to the latest firmware or not.

We'll update https://studio.code.org/maker/setup to check the firmware version of the connected board as well.

how about we have binary code on the neopixels in purple on boot for 2 seconds, so instead of trying to decode the color swirls, they can look at which pixels are lit when they plug it in?

hihi i updated master to have a different demo - now its a single LED color swirl? is that good for you?
