Sleep mode for prolonging lifespan #10

This is a feature request, but since particulate matter sensors have a limited lifespan, it would be nice if this library provided the option to put the sensor into and bring it out of sleep mode.

e.g. the SDS011 sensor has a laser diode service life of up to 8,000 hours: https://nettigo.pl/attachments/398

@jonathon-oodar can you please create a PR for this functionality?
