channel name can use any character, not limited any more

added `/` to MQTT topic and Inverter name
trigger for `calcSunrise` is now using local time #515
fix reconnect timeout for WiFi #509
start AP only after boot, not on WiFi connection loss
improved /system `free_heap` value (measured before JSON-tree is built)
