func_free does not include dynamic memory

[matthijskooijman]

The current implementation of the free function does not include any dynamic memory. It just includes the bss section (static memory using __bss_end) and the stack. Even though bitlash itself doesn't use dynamic memory, sketches may and this should be accounted for in the free output. The func_free implementation already links to a page that does this, using the __brkval variable.

It’s a fair point. There was literally not room for such luxuries in the '168 version but we can be somewhat less stingy now.
