[Bug fixes]

* I2C USI Master hangs when slave is not present at start up.

* digitalWrite leaves pin in PWM mode if PWM was previously enabled with analogWrite (Robert Wessels).
  https://github.com/energia/Energia/pull/64

* Analog/timer pin definiton incorrect, only one analog output available (Robert Wessels)
  https://github.com/energia/Energia/issues/41

* analogRead() wakes up to early due to watchdog isr clearing LPM bits
  https://github.com/energia/Energia/issues/67
  
* The function analogWrite(...) outputs a PWM signal with half the expected frequency and the duty cycle is only adjustable form 0 to 50% (pbrier).
