Pieter De Gendt b6979736ca modules: nanopb: introduce new module
Add the nanopb library and generator tools as a module.
Nanopb is a small code-size Protocol Buffers implementation in ansi C.
It is especially suitable for use in microcontrollers,
but fits any memory restricted system.

Nanopb sample
#############

Overview
********

A simple protocol buffer sample using Nanopb for serializing structured data
to platform independent raw buffers or streams.


Requirements
************

Nanopb uses the protocol buffer compiler to generate source and header files,
make sure the ``protoc`` executable is intalled and available.
