Overload writeValue to allow forced write without response

When a characteristic is declared (Write | WriteWithoutResponse) the code always creates a request
and expects a response.
By setting withResponse=false the user can bypass the request and write a responseless command.

Reworks and supersedes arduino-libraries#72
