New firmware release v1.18.0

[Marike]

I used the Pycom Firmware Updater to update my FiPy from v1.17.3.b1. The Updater says the latest available is 1.15 but when I proceed to the update, it detects the 1.18 stable is available and uses that.

Issues I've encountered:

• It takes longer after a RESET to connect to the FiPy REPL shell.
• It appears the first call to lte.attach() always fails with an error. No error on retry but. . .
• Connecting to LTE does not succeed (fails to attach). So far, I have tried waiting up to 10 minutes. It previously would attach and connect within 10s.

@iwahdan Nice, but that's not my PR so I don't want to get any credit for it ;-)

@xykon when the PR to allow WLAN hostname change will be integrated?

Having all DHCP pycom announcement set to ESPRESSIF as hostname is not really convenient when you have always 4/5 Lopy up
