[Feature Request] Enable deep-sleep/power-down for AIoTC stack

Related to #73.

I would also like to see this feature implemented. For example on the MKR WAN 1310 website https://store.arduino.cc/products/arduino-mkr-wan-1310 you advertise two features

• cost effective solution to add LoRa® connectivity to projects requiring low power.
• This open source board can be connected to the Arduino IoT Cloud.

Based on this description I ordered one and was very disappointed that those features can NOT be use in combination (low power with AIoTC).

At the minimum change the description of the hardware boards in the web to point out that current limitation.

I found that people are even building sophisticated workarounds like controlling the MKR Wan with an additional Arduino Uno or shutting down the CPU after 15 minutes to completely re-initialize the AIoTC firmware (see https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/andreas_waldherr/mkr-wan-1310-iot-operating-at-0-92ma-879793?f=1 as an example).

So this limitation seems to cause real pain especially for lora projects since the major value proposition of lora IoT projects is low power (battery) setups which is impossible or very hard with the current version of the library

Any update on this? Looks like Deep Sleeping my Esp32 causes there to be no updates at all from there on out to IoT. This seems like a really important feature for anyone who wants to run their device on battery power
