Push button for Stop/Halt/Start #3

A feature to stop / halt the mower by a mechanical push button switch without breaking the power to the board. Once switch released the mower restarts where it is (after safety checks)

This should be a very simple enhancement, there is a "MasterSwitch" in the software, we could just connect a button via an interrupt to switch the "MasterSwitch" to off.

Another usage for this button is to restart the mower if it has gone out_of_boundary. If you today lift up the mower and walk away the cutter restarts by itself when it sense it is inside the boundary. This is mainly for security reason to not restart when you walk around with the mower!

A Start/Stop Button is a nice Idea, Sometimes it is necessary to send the mower home because it may not be convenient for it to mow. So a start/stop button and a home button would be great.
