Add JSON Return Format to Telemetry & Command decode_packet Functions

[jhhocs]

Task Description

Update the decode_packet function to allow the programmer to specify the return format of telemetry and command. Supported formats are tuple (default, already complete) and JSON. The files that need to be updated are found here.

Example function header:

decode_packet(encoded_string, format="tuple")

Note

There is a chance that this object (and all other commands) will need to include some sort of packetID to identify specific command packets that are sent. For example, if two heartbeat commands are sent, we need to know exactly which one the vehicle is responding to.
