Requesting LED Indicating Improper Time (Not Only Initialization)

[pesm6540]

If RTC is writing the default: year = 2001, or an error: year = 2081, turn on LED

Added Led indicator for RTC power lost commit id (448c8e2).
Power lost could be one of the reason for improper init time, so added indicator for that.

So RTC shouldn't lose power because it has the on-board battery supply. No matter what the power supplied to the Arduino is, it should keep the same time.

We have actually seen the clock battery drop below 3V (after a while) and this causes the RTC to reset (once the pod is turned off). Having code to check the RTC time and tell if it is realistic and if it isn't flash some LED(s) would be useful. If the pod is continuously powered when the clock battery fails the time will be OK, it's just when the pod is turned off and then back on and there is insufficient power to keep the RTC working will you get the bad time.
