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.
As per #810 & #796, only LUA_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY=2 & MIN_OPT_LEVEL=2 are
supported when building. This commit effects that limitation.
With this change modules/auxmods.h no longer needs to be updated for
every new module, nor do module writers need to cater for a hypothetical
LUA_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY < 2 scenario.
The rtcfifo module uses RTC memory to store sensor samples across deep-sleeps,
making it possible to batch up samples for less frequent uploads. This
component uses 9 RTC memory slots for control, and a variable number of
slots for sample storage (see rtcfifo.prepare() on how to control the
size/location of the latter).
When used together with the rtctime module, it also exposes the convenience
function rtcfifo.dsleep_until_sample() which can be used to easily take
readings on a regular basis without having to manually take into account
time spent awake to get an accurate sleep time.
The format used for storing samples is quite dense, and allows for 16 bits
of data in a fixed point format (per sample).
