Arduino IDE and ESP8266 - tweaks and more

Some ESP8266 centric tweaks for the Arduino IDE setup, that I find useful. These methods in principle should have applications with other 3rd Party Board Manager selections.

Global Sketch Specific Defines - global defines

Adds ESPurna as a board type with multiple board models. This gives a little more build control, when using the ESPurna project, under the Arduino IDE - ESPurna Build Aids

Generate MAP or MAP Summary information of your build. In particular get the size of section .text (iram) - ELF map

Links to Some Useful Information

Arduino Build - describes the Arduino build process

Arduino IDE 1.5 3rd party Hardware specification - descibes how to extend the Arduino build process. Defines the elements you can use in board.local.txt and platform.local.txt.
