Improved Maths for the capacitive sensor HW-390: the entire 00-99 range on the 7-Segment-Displays will now be used.

Background: Capacitive sensor HW-390 delivers around 3.0V (here: approximately 65.535 after ADC conversion and expansion) output voltage when the soil is completely dry, and 1.0V (here: approximately 21.845 after ADC conversion and expansion) when the soil is completely wet
