Hard Resetting of the ESP via RTS pin

If the Serial Monitor is started, you have also the possibility to reset the microcontroller with the button "ESP Reset". This makes sense if you need messages after the reset of the ESP or the microcontroller is in a housing and the reset button on the developer board can not be reached.
