[bootloader] [test needed] Bootloader leds activity

[aethaniel]

This PR brings:

• activity LEDs support
• Genuino Zero build
• Arduino IDE 1.6.6 (MSWin specific change in APPDATA from Roaming to Local)

Readme.md updated with added 'how-to build' section.

I currently have a problem with my laptop which is refusing to mount properly the Arduino Zero.
Help is needed to verify the LED activity behaviour :-)

It seems that when I installed this build, it removed the arm-none-eabi from the main samd package in Arduino15/package/......

@aethaniel It works now : I only copied the bootloader directories and replace the 1.6.2 one by yours. Thanks for the update, it's great to see those leds blink while uploading! The led blinking is so fast that it looks like they are always on though.

[aethaniel]

Great!
Thanks for testing this 'new' feature!

Just tried this out, after I burn the new bootloader the RX LED is alway lit (although dim). I'll look into using a similar approach to #121.
