Allocate ``size`` bytes of RAM for the emergency exception buffer (a good
size is around 100 bytes). The buffer is used to create exceptions in cases
when normal RAM allocation would fail (eg within an interrupt handler).
when normal RAM allocation would fail (eg within an interrupt handler) and
therefore give useful traceback information in these situations.
A good way to use this function is to put it at the start of your main script
(eg boot.py or main.py) and then the emergency exception buffer will be active

It is recommended to use the other timers in your programs.
*Note:* Memory can't be allocated during a callback (an interrupt) and so
exceptions raised within a callback don't give much information. See
:func:`micropython.alloc_emergency_exception_buf` for how to get around this
limitation.
