heartbeat improvements

- Add debug level option ``#define DEBUG_LEVEL``
- A bug in the heartbeat send in the protocol library was fixed at the same time as this release.
- if heartbeat is enabled, deliberately send the command to server to start it. (I had previously assumed that this was not required.)

+- Add debug level option ``#define DEBUG_LEVEL``
+- A bug in the heartbeat send in the protocol library was fixed at the same time as this release.
+- if heartbeat is enabled, deliberately send the command to server to start it. (I had previously assumed that this was not required.)

 ### V1.72
 - add the ability to sort the roster with the new define ``ROSTER_SORT_SEQUENCE``
    - 0 = no sorting.  As it comes from the server
