Monitor moisture levels rather than distance #10

Current Situation

Currently the code is using a Grove ultrasonic range sensor to detect distance in centimeters. It sends that value as moistureLevel. We need to update this to actually use a moisture sensor and send actual moisture levels to Mother Bird.

@bsatrom introduced me to the Adafruit STEMMA Soil Sensor - I2C Capacitive Moisture Sensor and I've got 5 on the way here.

Goals
