Removed blocking wait for ATmega32U4 Serial in examples

2.2.1

version 2.2.1

Added RGBW support, *D and other functions

• Added support for RGBW patterns. Requires additional 200 bytes for the AllPatternsOnMultiDevices example. Commenting out #define SUPPORT_RGBW or defining DO_NOT_SUPPORT_RGBW saves 400 bytes FLASH for the AllPatternsOnMultiDevices example.
• Use type Print * instead of Stream *.
