Jonathan Austin / Mbed 2 deprecated BLE_namedbeacon

This is an extremely simple consumer of the BLEDevice API. The aim is to demonstrate the smallest program that is sensibly detected on a device. Be careful with the name! iOS caches device names, and so you can't necessarily guarantee how long you'll be stuck with the first one you choose first time iOS sees your board.
