Module creation & registration now made a lot simpler. In essence,
each module file is now self-contained and only needs a
NODEMCU_MODULE(MYNAME, "myname", myname_map, luaopen_myname);
line to both be automatically recognised by the Lua initialization
as well as honor the LUA_USE_MODULES_MYNAME #define.
This addresses the issue where a server would otherwise reject a valid
connection attempt from a rebooted node, due to the server thinking that
packet belonged to a recently closed session. By starting off the local
TCP port numbers at random* points each boot the risk of port reuse
across a reboot is significantly reduced.
*) As random as can be had via the lower 12 bits of the ccounter.
Renamed the main linker script to make it clear it is customised for NodeMCU
and not to be confused with the standard linker SDK linker scripts.
Changed to using the eagle.rom.addr.v6.ld file from the SDK.
Accessing 8bit and 16bit constants from ROM rather than RAM comes with a
performance cost, as these loads go through the load/store exception
vector. Any performance critical constants can be forced back into RAM
as RAM_CONST_ATTR.
The entry point has changed from call_user_start() to user_start_trampoline()
in order for the exception handler to be installed early enough.
The open source LWIP is broken, use espressif's liblwip.a.
Uses system_get_vdd33 instead of readvdd33.
