6f7da4f720 README.md: Add description about "-s 1" option for toio
For toio, it is recommended to add "-s 1" option to scratch_link
command. It reduces scan wait duration, and allows toio Do Visual
Programming to connect toio devices automatically. Document it for toio
users.

32da72492f scratch_link.py: Add -s option to specify BLE scan duration
Pyscrlink scans BLE devices for 10 seconds. This is a safe number to
cover various environments and devices. However, this is too long for
specific devices. One example is toio. Toio's Visual Programming
environment has automated connection to toio devices via Scratch-link,
at it assumes that the scan finishes with shorter time. To allow users
to specify shorter scan duration, add -s, or --scan_seconds option.

To simplify this new option support, utilize argparse library. Rewrite
option parser with argparse.

1af4baa7d6 README.md: Clarify bluepy-helper capability setup requirement
@n3storm reported that it is not clear which device is BLE, and requires
bluepy-helper capability setup. Improve description to note that most of
devices require the setup since BLE devices are getting the majority.

58a60c94db scratch_link.py: Avoid eternal loop by hostname resolve failure
When the address of device-manager.scratch.mit.edu can not be resolved,
scratch_link.py catches the exception for the resolve failure and
restarts itself. This results in eternal loop.

To avoid the eternal loop, catch the resolve failure, print error
message and break the loop. Also improve the error message for the other
exceptions caught in the loop.
