Syncing samples from SDK

[sandeepmistry]

The simplesample_http.c appears to be modified from upstream: https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdks/tree/master/c/serializer/samples/simplesample_http

We should find a way to synchronize this so we can keep up to date with SDK example updates. Also, the #include "AzureIoT.h" will need to changed to #include "AzureIoTHub.h" upstream.

@stefangordon @obsoleted any thoughts on this?

I used the simplesample_http example to certify the Arduino Zero + WiFi 101 shield and MKR1000 because the How to certify IoT devices on Non-Supported Platforms with Azure IoT SDK guide mentions "Run and Validate the Samples" in section 3.2.

Questions:

• Should we keep in it sync or remove?
• Does it add value as an example? I think it makes it easy for others to certify new boards.
• What about the iothub_client_sample_http that was included prior to Update AzureIoT Library with support for more boards #1?

I'll take a look at this. Some of the divergence might have actually been my fault when iterating locally a bit. I think there is value in having it, as you said it is a nice simple sample that helps ensure functionality.

I think we have decent coverage with the samples we have now. And we should probably tackle the unification first before adding more incase there are common patterns we can use.

Infrastructure has changed. We source the code from the new "c" SDK repo.
