This PR changes the pub-sub topic of each of the 3 managed sensors sold by Sofar Ocean. It prepends sensor/ and inserts /sofar in the middle.
For example, before this change, a Sofar current meter module might publish readings to the topic 142da2ea9eccbe3c/aanderaa. After this change, it would publish to sensor/142da2ea9eccbe3c/sofar/aanderaa.
We're envisioning a future with many companies making similarly named sensors and other modules. We want to create a reasonable naming system that folks can follow as we all build the ecosystem together, where we don't need to fight for top-level namespace.
Plus, even though it doesn't work yet, we're migrating toward a scheme where folks could create their own general-purpose aggregators that could subscribe to all sensor readings using a wildcard like sensor/*.
This will be a breaking change of sorts. Both the publishing sensor module and the subscribing bridge module have to be updated with this change. If only one is updated, then no sensor data will be sent via Spotter's telemetry.
