Cobus van Eeden dc491debe7 LTS-development-snapshot-202002.00
LTS development changes have Source, Demo, and dependencies added for FreeRTOS-IoT-Libraries. These libraries are using FreeRTOS kernel, FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP, and FreeRTOS-Plus-Trace of V10.3.0 tag. FreeRTOS_Plus_TCP and FreeRTOS_Plus_Trace are as used as is, but a few changes are made to FreeRTOS as listed below.

    Removed FreeRTOS/Demo.
    Updated FreeRTOS/readme.txt to remove mentions about the demos.
    Removed FreeRTOS/links_to_doc_pages_for_the_demo_projects.url file as there are no demos present.

*** INTRODUCTION ***

Development is now underway that will enable us to provide long-term support (LTS) 
releases of FreeRTOS. An LTS release is maintained separately from the main 
codebase. Typically, no new features are added after release, but critical bugs 
and security vulnerabilities are patched for years after launch.

We are currently working to improve modularity and memory usage of FreeRTOS 
libraries to ensure the FreeRTOS LTS release helps our users cover a wider set of use cases.

For additional details on LTS and the supported libraries,
refer to https://freertos.org/ltsroadmap.html

*** INSTRUCTIONS ***
The pre-configured projects use the FreeRTOS kernel Windows port (often
called the Windows simulator) to enable their evaluation using the free Visual
Studio tools and without needing specific microcontroller hardware.

Additional details can be found at:
