Add current limiter #17

Something that would've been good to have last year.

For motors that are subject to running under heavy load, it would be a good idea to check the current, and if it's above a threshold, free the motor (motor.free()) or some other way of stopping it. motor.free() is good because in some cases like last year, you just want to change say, the operating mode of the motor.

We really have no motors that need this.
