Corrected APA102 USB (adalight) led device

I have removed the 'hack' that allowed to use APA102 with original
version of adalight. I have modified adalight code and placed it into
dependencies folder. This change is not backward compatible, so it won't
work with original adalight code.
The reason for the change is that last leds were not acting as they
should (last led red). Additionally with this change and new arduino
code, performance is  lot better and lights change much smoother.
I have also changed switchOff method that requires different data sent
to apa102 to turn all leds off.

Enjoy :)
