Support for checking space usage in compiled sketches via command line

Author: ianfixes

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
 - Support for `dtostrf()`
 - Added a CI workflow to lint the code base
 - Added a CI workflow to check for spelling errors
+- Extraction of byes usage in a compiled sketch is now calculated in a method: `ArduinoBackend.last_bytes_usage`
 
 ### Changed
 - We now compile a shared library to be used for each test.
