Espruino 1v73 released

This one's happened quite quickly, but we spotted a few issues with 1v72, which I thought were important to get fixes out for quickly:

• Accessing some specific names of an undefined variable could crash Espruino
• setTimeout and setInterval in onInit didn't work correctly after the board was reset with the reset button (power off/power on, or reset() was ok)
• On the Espruino board, after a reset with the button the RTC subsecond counter wasn't working, meaning very 'glitchy' values from getTime and for setInterval.

I also added:

• Uint8ClampedArray, which is just hugely helpful for WS811/WS2812/NeoPixel LED-related stuff.
• Filesystem on user-defined pins. For instance you may want more than one SD card to your Espruino board (or to connect a card to your Pico when they're produced!).
• A few more exported functions to allow 'Compiled' JS code to work on more of the JS Language.

Interesting - I'd always been assuming the problems I was having with timeouts and intervals after reset button was problem with connected devices (I saw that in my desk lamp) getting into a bad state, not the Espruino getting confused.

Can't wait to try out the SD card on other pins support. I've had a board waiting to test that with for a while.

Hey Gordon, do you think it would be possible to provide a binary firmware which could be externally flashed onto a ESP8266 by enthusiasts that do not have your dev board, but would still like to try your programming platform?

You mean you'd like firmware for Espruino that would run on the ESP8266 itself?

Just to add to this, we've found that Waveform input doesn't work at all on 1v72/1v73. It's now fixed, but I'll try and do a proper release quite soon with that fixed.
