Subject: [PATCH] esp8266/modesp: Add flash_user_start() function.

As we're looking towards adding OTA support, calculation of a FlashROM
area which can be used for filesystem (etc.) may become complex, so
introduce C function for that. So far it just hardcodes current value,
0x90000. In the future the function may be extended (and renamed) to
return the size of area too.
