bugfix: if end was done, do start at next cycle, not immediately
so that declare blocks are in code above the effect, also if block with declare is placed under effect on the canvas

A common problem in arduino programming for beginners is trying to do two things, but having learned to use delay() to do effects.
This PR adds a new function block to do effects and hides all the problems of working without delay.
WIth this function you can have 3 leds do different types of blinking at the same time, listen to a button being pressed, and rotate a servo, all in a package beginners are able to understand after a short explanation.
I have no test code in the master, but for example use in my branch with extra blocks, see example on how to do blink no delay from the arduino examples:
http://ingegno.be/Manuals/Blockly4Arduino/blockly4Arduino/index_en.html?url=examples/BlinkNoDelay.xml
above blocks can be explained to young children.
More advanced (button monitoring, LED strip and servo rotation):

PS: I'm thinking of button handling code based on above button handling for a different PR, also for the LED strip.
