Updates to match API changes (#392)

* Updates to match API changes

Update to the node to match the server API changes. An attempt has been made to leave a legacy path for existing installations that may have not updated the server side.

* Updated following comments.

Update following comments.

Output removed and node.warn or error used.

oneeditprepare added.

Name moved to last item.

In addition, a check added to ensure nodegroup has valid value.

Question: I have added a 'return' as I do not want data posted if there is not a valid nodegroup.  Is this the best way to exit the function?  Always taught that multiple exits was a bad idea.  I wondered about raising an error / exception and then catching it but not sure how to do that.

* Update documentation for revised node

Usage
-----
### Emoncms post.
### Emoncms post:
#### Preferred Data Type
The `msg.payload` can contain either a comma separated list of name
value pairs, e.g.
The API now accepts a validated JSON object for the name value pairs. This is the preferred data type.
name:value,...
#### Legacy Data Type Support
or a comma separated list of values, e.g.
The original input API for emoncms used a URI in the format `post.json?`. If the data type of legacy is selected, the `msg.payload` can contain:
1,2,..
A comma separated list of name value pairs, e.g.
or a simple javascript object e.g.
name:value,...
msg.payload = {temp:12, humidity:56};
A comma separated list of values (CSV), e.g.
If *Nodegroup* is left blank `msg.nodegroup` will used (if set).
This should be a numeric value.
1,2,..
Insertion time can be manipulated by setting `msg.time`. This **must** be in
epoch format - i.e. seconds since 1970.
A simple javascript object (note no quotes) e.g.
{temp:12, humidity:56};
#### Node
If *Node* is left blank `msg.nodegroup` will be used (if set). A *Node* must be set or the flow will fail.
#### msg.time
Insertion time can be manipulated by setting `msg.time`. This can be an ISO format date/time or a number of seconds in epoch format - i.e. seconds since 1970. If no time is set time now is set by emoncms.
#### Status
The flow will indicate if the node has successfully called the API. This is not a guarantee the data has been inserted to emoncms.
