Simplifiy useage of Node:PiBrella

[stretchyboy]

Would like to move to better library for the PiBrella than onoff (which doesn't allow for PWM and means pullup/down needs to be set in a bash script) . But in meantime we need the gpio variables setup before or as we use them. so users don't have to worry about setting up.
Either need

• a PiBrella node module which uses getters to create GPIO vars as needed
• an object with the GPIO variables already built

Are you asking for someone to write a better Node module for PiBrella or do you know that there are better libraries out there?

Neither,
A proper module for it would rely on a better GPIO module (one that can do
PWM etc) and so is not practical at the moment.
A quick wrapper module is possible and I can do it but ...
I have implemented the quick array version and am looking to see if that is
good enough branch 679_PiBrella_simplilfy is currently trying this
approach.

However all of this is a work around for not being able to write in Python
(now bug #678). But you may have noticed branch 678_python were I have
started implementing a brainwave I had in the shower on Monday morning,and
I'm now generating properly indented python code (It's not been tested yet
as I haven't got enough blocks yet to make an a program that affects the
real world) but I should get something in the next few days.

The first option in #684 should help with indented python code. Splitting scripts into arrays would be fairly trivial, getting the indentation right would still take some effort.
