Extra Pipes

[TMRh20]

Finally found some time to play around with this and it was pretty easy to implement. Just a few questions now like whether to try and support mixed networks (I don't really like that idea) but it seems to work fine.

• Add support for any number of 'pipes' that are available for addressing.
• Allows wider range of addressing on NRF52x devices

Instructions:

• Edit RF24Network_config.h and set NUM_PIPES to 8
• Edit RF24Mesh_config.h and set MESH_MAX_CHILDREN to 6
• Recompile and upload...

It's so simple and clean! 😃

Citing a concern from #201 OP

pipe/address validation will have to conditionally forego x <= 5 presumption about 6 pipes

I think is_valid_address() needs tweaking:

RF24Network/RF24Network.cpp

Lines 1134 to 1138 in a334fa6

	if (digit < 1 || digit > 5) {
	result = false;
	IF_SERIAL_DEBUG_MINIMAL(printf_P(PSTR("*** WARNING *** Invalid address 0%o\n\r"), origNode););
	break;
	}
