[Ovmsdev] Adding support for eGolf

[Chris van der Meijden]

Hi Erick,

good to see that you have started to get the e-Golf up and running with
OVMS. 

I have tried it a few years ago too based on my expierences with the e-
UP. Though I have to say without very much success. The e-Golf and e-UP
behave in great parts different on the CAN-bus. But there seems to be
more insight on the e-Golf nowadays, so a new approach seems to be more
promissing now.

Could you create a "docs" folder with an "index.rst" like in the
"vehicle_demo"?

https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/blob/master/vehicle/OVMS.V3/components/vehicle_demo/docs/index.rst

This will make the progress steps clearer to those following your
progress with the project.

Regards

Chris
