Arduino Pro Mini Low power Sleep Example

* @note
* This example show how to properly enter sleep mode and wake up
* the Arduino Pro Mini board using Watchdog Timer.
* Additionally this example reads a LDR sensor connected to A6 Pin
* and a DHT22 sensor connected to the D8 pin of the Pro Mini board.
* In case you would like to remove the DHT Portion you can remove
* the necessary code.
* The design is such that the code within the WDT flag guarded `if`
* is only executed ones after which the board sleeps for the desired
* time and then wakes up back to continue.
* Good part of using Watchdog Timer is that it remains enabled even
* in the lowest of the power modes.
* Here are the Connected items to the Pro Mini Board:
* A6 = LDR sensor
* D8 = DHT22 (Dout pin)
* D9 = Indicator LED (Active Low)
*
* @warning At the end of all serial sequences it needs some delay else
* even before the transmission could complete the board might get reset
* or garbage data starts flowing out due to misalignments in the serial
* shift register in the UART during sleep entry.
