Library and repo name, PyPi #9

Maybe it would be nice to consider renaming the library and the repository from fs100 to something like pyhse to indicate what protocol the library implements. Because it's not limited to FS100 controller, you of course know that. We are using it with YRC1000 controller and it works with YRC1000micro too. Maybe also with older controllers, I don't know.

Then there is a possibility of making a standard Python package out of it, apply some versioning scheme and publish it to PyPI so that everyone interested can easily install it via pip.

What do you think? Of course such effort means more time required to do the changes and maintain them. I can offer some of my time, I have no experience with publishing to PyPI but I learn rather quick. So maybe... Regarding the name change, that would of course mean that all the links to the repository will stop working. Still people will find the library with Google and GitHub tags as I found it. And there will be a new way through PyPI.

It's awesome to change the name to pyhse and publish it to PyPI. I think we both stand on the belief of guiding and helping others. I will also learn how PyPI works. Because English is not my native language, my understanding to it will not be quick. Thanks for all your work.
