Before PR lancaster-university#114 the string was "BBC micro:bit V2.0", with that PR it was updated to indicate "BBC micro:bit V2.0" for board ID 0x9904 and "V2.X" to any unknown board ID (currently V2.2 boards would still appear as "V2.X"). lancaster-university#114 There is no need for BLE apps or devices to distinguish between different V2 versions, just as we currently don't differentiate between V1.3 and V1.5. Hardcoding this in CODAL to be "BBC micro:bit V2" also removes an I2C call to the interface chip on uBit.init(), which help us better support unofficial interface chip firmwares, like Segger's J-Link.
