the readsettings function would recurse indefinately if writesettings would not generate a file. However, default settings are included in the main firmware header so there is no real need to write them if settings.ini does not exist. We can just write the settings when they change.
the fucntion getUniqueID() depends on networkstuff.h so the definition of MQTT variables is moved below this include, to allow settingMQTTuniqueid to be set from the start

There are a lot of changes in this pull request but I have tried to separate them into managable commits as best as possible.
As a final test before creating this pull request I reflashed to the 0.9.3 release and littlefs and then applied the new build OTA. This worked flawlessly but it is important that the firmware is flashed first otherwise everything needs to be reflashed through USB.
There is an included batch file which should be used to build the littlefs.bin from this change on. Any parameters changed in this build script would also need to be changed in OTGW-firmware.ino (page size, fs size etc.) For now I have set the systemFS to 1 megabyte but this can be increased to 1.5m fairly easily and without impacting user settings. Flashing the orginal littlefs.bin would override the user partition but should still work.
I have made a few changes to the settings handling as well since some undesirable behaviour showed up while testing my code with failing filesystems. Hope you don't mind.
