Added post build script to generate a .factory.bin file

This file can just be flashed to address 0x0 and contains all other required data. No need to flash multiple files anymore.

+# Part of ESPEasy build toolchain.
+#
+# Combines separate bin files with their respective offsets into a single file
+# This single file must then be flashed to an ESP32 node with 0 offset.
+#
+# Original implementation: Bartłomiej Zimoń (@uzi18)
+# Maintainer: Gijs Noorlander (@TD-er)
+#
+# Special thanks to @Jason2866 (Tasmota) for helping debug flashing to >4MB flash
+# Thanks @jesserockz (esphome) for adapting to use esptool.py with merge_bin
+#
+# Typical layout of the generated file:
+#    Offset | File
+# -  0x1000 | ~\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32\tools\sdk\esp32\bin\bootloader_dout_40m.bin
