Set custom URL for "http://homie.config/" #226

Is there a way to have a custom captive portal URL?

Right now it appears the http://homie.config/ URL is hard coded in homie-esp8266\src\Homie\Boot\BootConfig.cpp lines 184 & 191

Consider something like Homie_setPortalUrl("http://setup.example.com"")

This commit: https://github.com/marvinroger/homie-esp8266/commit/0b8437c18c21662805ddfd1636d9c67f81a202ef does not redirect to homie.config anymore but to the IP, as some people had problems with DNS with multiple interfaces (see https://github.com/marvinroger/homie-esp8266/issues/211)

I can't come up with a better solution, but the DNS resolves every hostname to the IP, so you can ask your users to type setup.example.com and it will actually reach the ESP8266.
