* overload Preferences.getBytes similar to nvs so you can get size of the array.

* Cleaner implentation, with a separate function to get length.  Added an example

/*
This example shows how to use Preferences (nvs) to store a
structure. Note that the maximum size of a putBytes is 496K
or 97% of the nvs partition size. nvs has signifcant overhead,
so should not be used for data that will change often.
