IoT spec change: Add the possibility of systems which treat different sources differently.

Browse Source 
This is useful for, as an example, actions which require multiple parameters.
A guarantee by the specific device that the variables are "local" ensures that
 no race conditions occur, assuming the node isn't running two programs
 accessing the same device (which should not be true on the basis that OC is
 not generally a multitasking system)

at least for simple cases.
2. The protocol needs to be relatively flexible.
The protocol is multi-part, each part noting a different aspect of the system.
The protocol is written here as 3 parts.
"The device" refers to the server / controllable object.
"The client" refers to the client.
Another thing to note is that due to the "cannot do much work" requirement,
only one device per hostname is supported via this protocol.
Part 1. General Mainport Packet Description
@ -18,16 +24,35 @@ First things first - in case of error, do nothing at all.
If it's possible to just ignore a protocol violation, do so.
For example, a get request with data should be treated as a get request without it.
Secondly, it is allowed for the device to present different 'faces' depending on which client is accessing it.
However, all 'faces' must have the same descriptor (variable 0).
This is useful for devices which have some state, like a concurrent storage server
(allowing the download of different 1499-byte 'parts'),
but still keeping enough consistency for the device to be uniquely identifiable.
In all packets on the main port,
the first byte's upper 2 bits indicate what kind of packet this is -
the lower 6 bits is the 'variable number'.
The remainder of the packet is the parameter data.
00: Request: Get (This has no further data.)
01: Request: Set (The data is the new variable contents.
Success is determined by checking acknowledgement, then performing a Get.)
10: Perform Action: (The data is the parameter.)
11: Response: Get (The data is the variable contents.)
00: Request: Get. This has no further data.
This must only be sent by the client to the device.
If valid, the device responds with the standard reliability-layer acknowledgement,
