-The first new environment we create, `nodemcuv2-pilight-bme280`, inherits the default `nodemcuv2-pilight` environment in `platformio.ini` with the `extends = env:nodemcuv2-pilight` line. In the `lib_deps` section, it imports all the `lib_deps` of `nodemcuv2-pilight` with the `${env:nodemcuv2-pilight.lib_deps}` line, and adds BME280 on top of it. (Since the environment we're extending already has this `lib_deps` attribute, specifying it again would normally replace it completely with our new attribute; instead, to keep its value but simply append to it, we import the original in the beginning of our `lib_deps` attribute.) In the `build_flags` section, it again imports all the `build_flags` of `nodemcuv2-pilight` and many of its own overrides, e.g. changing `Base_Topic` found in `User_config.h` from the default to "rf/" by using the `'-DBase_Topic="rf/"'` line. It also unsets previously set configurations (i.e. `simpleReceiving`) by using `'-UsimpleReceiving'`. This environment will work over serial upload.

 The second new environment, `nodemcuv2-pilight-bme280-ota`, inherits everything we specified in the first environment (with the line `extends = env:nodemcuv2-pilight-bme280`), but modifies it to upload over OTA (Wi-Fi). We also specified this as the `default_env` in the beginning of the file, so PlatformIO will choose this environment to build and upload if we don't specify otherwise.
