This modifies Send, DevKeySend and Publish methods
on mesh.Node interface to include additional argument "options".
This new argument is a dictionary that currently has only one
new key word defined for Send() and DevKeySend():
"ForceSegmented" - to force small payloads to be sent as
one-segment messages
In case of Publish(), and additional keyword is defined
"Vendor" - 16-bit Company ID as defined by the Bluetooth SIG
Other key words may be defined in future to accommodate evolving
requirements of Mesh Profile specification.
Also, the addition of "options" dictionary to Publish allows to
eliminate VendorPublish() method (taken care by "Vendor" keyword).
