  - Corrected ADR MAC command behavior
  - DutyCycle enforcement implementation (EU868 PHY only)

    **REMARK 1** *The regulatory duty cycle enforcement is enabled by default which means that for lower data rates the
     node may not transmit a new frame as quickly as requested  
    The formula used to compute the node idle time is*

        Toff = TimeOnAir / DutyCycle - TxTimeOnAir

    *Example:*  
    *A device just transmitted a 0.5 s long frame on one default channel
    This channel is in a sub-band allowing 1% duty-cycle. Therefore this whole sub-band (868 MHz - 868.6 MHz) will be
     unavailable for 49.5 s.*

    **REMARK 2** *The duty cycle enforcement can be disabled for test purposes by calling the `LoRaMacSetDutyCycleOn`
     function with false parameter.*
  - Implemented aggregated duty cycle management
  - Added a function to create new channels
  - Implemented the missing features on the JoinAccept MAC command
  - Updated LoRaMacJoinDecrypt function to handle the CFList field
- Added the possibility to chose to use either public or private networks

### Changed

- Cosmetic updates
- Changed the TimeOnAir radio function to return a uint32_t value instead of a double. The value is in us
- Changed the GetPosition functions to return a latitude and longitude of 0 and altitude of 65535 when no GPS fix
- Due to duty cycle management the applicative API has changed  
  All applications must be updated accordingly
