STM32duinoLoraWan sketch going to low power stop mode and sending packet

This example is configuring the stm32WL for LoraWan connection and
low power mode.
After LoraWan is connected, it periodically (atime value in milliseconds)
goes to low power mode (stop 2) and wakes Up to send a packet

+ * When alarm Wakes up the system, it send a packet over the LoraWan
