Firmata sketch for Arduino with persistent configuration, Virtualwire support and more

======================================================================================

Interesting features on top of StandardFirmata:

 - Pin modes and other configuration is saved to and read from EEPROM

 - VirtualWire support added which enables wireless reading&writing with cheap RF modules. 

   (VirtualWire uses Timer1, so don't use PWM on ports 9,11) 

 - Power saving feature when using only VirtualWire transmitter. 

   Configurable wakeup pin.

 - Simple configuration via SysEx message 

   (which `Automate `_ implements).

 - Character LCD support (via SysEx messages)

Please also note:

 - Servo support removed (conflicts with VirtualWire due to use of Timer1).

 - If PWM is used on Pins 3 or 11, timer2 divider is set to 1, resulting in 31.25 KHz PWM frequency. 

Optionally requires the following libraries (see #define constants in the beginning of file):

 - VirtualWire: http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/VirtualWire/VirtualWire-1.27.zip 

   (see http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/VirtualWire/)

 - Low-Power: https://github.com/rocketscream/Low-Power (tested at commit 530e8e7)

 - LiquidCrystal_I2C https://github.com/fdebrabander/Arduino-LiquidCrystal-I2C-library (tested at commit e3701fb)

Compilation tested to be working fine Arduino IDE version 1.8.3. Tested with Arduino Pro Mini compatible boards.

Work is based on StandardFirmata

its `Arduino specific documentation `_.
