This pull request adds the ability to use the Hue API remotely. I've kept in mind some of the goals of this project (single file, 2 and 3 compatibility and no module dependencies). The README is updated to include documentation on the remote API.
A user will be required to provide their own credentials from the Philips Hue developer's portal.
Some small changes were required to the existing Bridge class to enable a new RemoteBridge to subclass it. The main change was changing the base of the API URL from a string literal /api/ to an instance variable, since the URL base is /bridge/ for the remote API. The other was the ability to add authentication headers to the request() method.
Another change was required to facilitate simple authorisation and token generation from a terminal.
The rest of the new code is creating a Token class to handle the authentication tokens, and a RemoteBridge subclass of the Bridge class.
