NZRAM Library

This librariry provides access to special part of memory (called "non-zero" RAM or NZRAM) that can store data even if Z-Uno is in sleep mode. Z-Uno provides user up to 32 byes of NZRAM. Note that Z-Uno should still be powered to maintain non-zero memory. On power loss non-zero memory will contain garbage, so a special magic key or CRC is suggested to be used to check memory validity before trust it. Writing to and reading from non-zero memory is very fast and energy efficient (like access to normal variable), but in contrast to any other memory in Z-Uno it is not cleared on next wake up of Z-Uno. Use it to store some data you need to keep from previous wakeup but you don't want to write into non-volatile EEPROM (because it is very energy consuming compared to access to non-zero memory).
