implemented int ArduinoIoTCloudClass::begin(ConnectionManager *c, String brokerAddress) as an overloaded method initialising the connection object and still relying upon begin(Client& net, String brokerAddress).

This allows us to maintain backwards compatibility as well as allowing users to implement their own means of connection.
