give some status info via LED for boot, restart status #215

give some very basic status info via the onboard LED. Ideally this would include: OTA in progress code starting after OTA load code starting due to reset setup routine executing main loop executing

implemented this by enabling timer interrupts using timer 3 (I think millis() uses timer 0).

during various forms of code loading, onboard LED is off
during execution of setup() onboard LED flashes at 1 cycle per second
once execution passes to loop(), LED flash rate increases to 2 cycles per second This can be disabled, say to use the LED for other purposes, by disabling the interrupts.
