Description:
This is a low power listening version of RadioCountToLeds,
-using the broadcast address to delivery packets. That means even in
-an ack'ing LPL scheme, the delivery will remain on for the full
-duration of the receiver's LPL check to ensure all listeners get the message.

+Verification:
+ * Install the application on two motes
+ * Both motes should count up their LED's just like RadioCountToLeds
+ - This indicates they are communicating with each other.
+ * LED's will not toggle in rhythm.
+ - Being a broadcast LPL transmission, you'll sometimes see
+ the LED's count up one at a time, or multiple counts
+ at a time. This is normal.

+If you see LED's waggling on both motes, the test passed.

+LplBroadcastCountToLeds maintains a 4Hz counter, broadcasting its value in
an AM packet every time it gets updated. A RadioCountToLeds node that
hears a counter displays the bottom three bits on its LEDs. This
application is a useful test to show that basic AM communication and
