Added a test case for moving CORE_LIB in PR #583.

This patch is meant to test the link order, if the OTHER_OBJS
variable gets used to add 3rd party archives, that depend on the
Arduino core lib (the archive pointed to by the CORE_LIB variable).

The examples/Blink3rdPartyLib directory contains a stripped down Blink
and includes a library in the examples/Blink3rdPartyLib/Toggle
sub-directory. The archive, built inside the Toggle directory mimics a
3rd party library. The archive gets built and linked in by using the
OTHER_OBS variable in examples/Blink3rdPartyLib/Makefile.

 ### In Development
+- Fix: Moved CORE_LIB to the last position of the defined linked objects. (https://github.com/wingunder)
 - Fix: Moved ATtiny examples to ATtinyBlink, updated alternate core instructions (issue #537) (https://github.com/sej7278)
 - Fix: Add -fno-devirtualize flag to workaround g++ segfault bug (issue #486). (https://github.com/sej7278)
 - Fix: Quote the prefix tag in the space_pad_to function
