Extend node.info([buildRef,[modules]])

[spaccabit]

Hi at all,
I'm trying different builds with different settings to understand how nodeMcu.
The more difficulty that I met it is to identify the build of firmware and the selected modules.

I would suggest adding to node.info optional parameters:

buildRef - returns the short hash of the commit to which the build refers
modules - returns a table containing the list of modules selected on user_modules.h

For cloud builds there are some information that printed on bootup.
Not sure how it works at all. @marcelstoer I think you may describe it?

So I agree for expose that data somewhere in Lua-level.

My cloud builder simply redefines NODE_VERSION and BUILD_DATE in user_version.h. The Git revision is extracted by running git rev-parse HEAD.

There are more details here #449 (comment).

I am working at #2799 and would like to add these informations too.
The idea is to return all of them in node.info.
