Uploader Nodes

The Uploader library of nodes is broken down into 2x functional blocks.

1. uploader - interacts with the bitpool cloud, creating pools, streams, and uploading data.

2. metatag - appends tags to the node red msg object, and forwards the tags to the uploader node. This enriches the data getting uploaded to the bitpool cloud
