Added HVAC support and V_VAR1 to V_VAR5 channel #9

Added HVAC support for the binding with additional temperature and var1 to var5 channels.

Just a little note: Battery channel is missing for hvacThermostat.

Another thought: Shoudn't we add V_VAR1~V_VAR5 to all thing-types? In MySensors web, at SerialApi, we can see that these variable types can be used by any device or sensor, that's why I suggest to add these variable types to all "thing types"

Let me know what you think. Regards.

Good point!

But adding V_VARX to all thing types will confuse every beginner that is using the PaperUI, because every channel is linked by default after discovery and enabling the thing.

Another possible implementation could be a generic V_VAR thing, with V_VAR1-5. But then a childId + nodeId is needed for this thing.
