[RTC EXAMPLE] ========================================================================================================

Environment prepare:
In your Blynk App project:
  - add "RTC" widget,
  - set required TimeZone,
  - Run the App (green triangle in the upper right corner).
  - define your auth token for current example and run it


This started program on connect will send rtc_sync call to server.
RTC reply will be captured by "internal_rtc" handler
UTC time with required timezone correction will be printed
