Firebase HTTPS receiver for Lightbug API quickstart

Introduction

The function lbListener is created to receive HTTP POST messages from LB API.

The URL of this function would be something like https://us-central1-AAAA-BBBBB.cloudfunctions.net/lbListener

This URL should be used as the endpoint for an API Push in the Lightbug Cloud.
