[x] Publish firmata@1.0.0 in it's exact present form.
[x] Add lerna.json
[x] Move current firmata.js code to packages/*
[x] Split firmata.js into two packages:
- [x] firmata-core: this is most of the current contents of this project, but without an implicit node-serialport dependency
- [x] firmata.js: this is just a simple wrapper that "curries" Firmata with Serialport.
[x] Publish firmata@2.0.0 and firmata-core@2.0.0

Two thoughts:

In order to better align with the defacto plugin-io ecosystem naming conventions and reduce confusion between similarly named firmata and firmata.js (which publishes as "firmata" on npm) I propose that we put the mono-repo in a new firmata-io repo and change the package name to "firmata-io".
I worry that adding lerna raises the bar for new contributors but I'm willing to ride right on by this particular windmill.

@dtex that would mean making a "firmata-io" repo in https://github.com/firmata/, which I think would be strange. I looked at https://github.com/node-serialport/node-serialport and there is no new repo made there.
