Release 2.0.0

=============



* Major change to the APIs around stack initialization. BLE::init() is now

  meant to only trigger the initialization of the underlying BLE stack. init()

  now takes a completion callback as an optional parameter; this callback gets

  invoked when initialization completes.



    - There's a new type: BLE::InitializationCompleteCallback_t



    - There's a new API: BLEInstanceBase::hasInitialized() which transports

      need to implement.



    - If no init-completion callback is setup, the application can still

      determine the status of initialization using BLE::hasInitialized().



    !This update may require in a minor change to existing apps!



    mbed-classic demos would look something like:



    ```

    main() {

        BLE::Instance().init();

        while (!BLE::Instance().hasInitialized()) {

            /* spin wait */

        }



        /* rest of the initialization ending in the waitForEvent loop */



    }

    ```



    whereas mbedOS demos would look like:



    ```

    void bleInitComplete(BLE &ble, ble_error_t error)

    {

        WsfTrace("bleInitComplete");



        if (error != BLE_ERROR_NONE) {

            WsfTrace("initailization failed with error: %u", error);

            return;

        }



        if (ble.getInstanceID() == BLE::DEFAULT_INSTANCE) {

            /* use the BLE instance */

        }

    }



    extern "C" void app_start(int argc, char *argv[])

    {

        BLE::Instance().init(bleInitComplete);

    }

    ```



    The Nordic stack initializes right-away, and so existing demos based on Nordic should continue to work.



* There's a new API: BLE::getInstanceID(), which simply returns the ID of an

  instance.



* Reduce the memory footprint consumed by a FunctionPointerWithContext to 20

  bytes (originally, it was 32 bytes !). Also enforce alignment constraints

  of the embedded pointer to member function. This should help with the size

  of a GattCharacteristic.



* Add EnvironmentalService.h under services/.



* There have been minor improvements to EddystoneService and EddystoneConfigService.



* We've added a CONTRIBUTING.md to help guide user contributions.
