Adding support for MRFC522 RFID Reader

I am excited to see this module work with ESP8266 in the Arduino mode, but I'm a big NodeMCU fan now :)

So I'm looking at converting the library below into a Lua module for NodeMCU.

I was interested if anyone else had gone down this path already?

https://github.com/Jorgen-VikingGod/ESP8266-MFRC522

Would it be better to compile the C++ library into firmware to achieve this, or port the library to Lua? There's not that much SPI code there yet, knowing that it works with the hardware is already a big step.

Ok that's good news, I am keen to collaborate, something is better than nothing - I've got the hardware here and am a full time software developer. Let me know if you're interested.
