New test version published.

> ## Version 2.3.12
> 
> - Updated Homey API to 1.10.5
> - Code cleanup
> - Better workaround for homey-api bug

This test version brings the newest `homey-api` to _ **Heimdall** _ and all (remarked) references to SDK2 are completely removed. It also contains a better workaround for a bug in `homey-api`.

Here’s a little background about the last one: SDK3 apps require using the `homey-api` opposed to the `athom-api` which was used when _ **Heimdall** _ was still an SDK2 app.  
There are quite some difference and improvements between `athom-api` and `homey-api` but unfortunately it turned out that not all functionality in `athom-api` is available in the `homey-api`.

To make sure _ **Heimdall** _ would not loose functionality I had to implement a workaround that isn’t ideal in terms of memory- and CPU usage. I’ve reported this to Athom and it is acknowledged the functionality is indeed missing in `homey-api` and it’s being looked into. Luckily I got some tips from @robertklep and @Jero on how to make the needed workaround less costly, so a big thanks to them!

(Versions 2.3.9, 2.3.10 and 2.3.11 were small incremental steps leading to this 2.3.12 and were unannounced)
