It was reported that the bluepy-scratch-link does not run on Ubuntu 16.04
which has python version 3.5. The script stopped with an error about
f-format string, which was introduce with python 3.6.
Even removing f-format string from the script, bluepy-scratch-link still
requires python 3.6 because websockets module requires it. Clarify that
python version requirement to avoid confusion.

Described why this script was written. Wrote down installation and usage
guide. Confirmed the guide with elementary os 5.

Implemented Scratch-link[1] feature as a small python script. Confirmed
it is working with Scratch 3.0[2] using a micro:bit as the BLE device to
link. This allows Linux PCs to connect Scratch and micro:bit.
Utilized bluez[3] and bluepy[4] to handle Bluetooth Low Energy connection.
Utilized Websocket module for Secure Web Socket server.

This is a minimal implementation to support micro:bit. Some of
Scratch-link features are not implemented. For example, Bluetooth (not
BLE) devices are not supported. BLE device support is confirmed only with
micro:bit.
