I added a few convenience methods for checking the remaining FIFO buffer.
I've a use case where extremely low latency is more important than making sure every packet is sent,
so I found myself needing to check make sure that there's enough room in the buffer to ensure I don't pay the 200ms penalty for over-running it, as described here.
The change is just a wrapper around the AT+BLEUARTFIFO command. I'm not a fan of using strings when I can wrap a command like this with code. There are other implementations of AT commands in the
Adafruit_BLE class, so it seemed to fit in there.
