Update to v74 c-library

There doesn't appear to be a v74 of the pigpio C library, at least not at the time of writing, see here.

The pigpio Node.js module doesn't actually install the pigpio C library. The pigpio Node.js module assumes that the pigpio C library has already been installed. For further information see the installation section of the readme.

Too many times i got the address "already in use" from something.

Did the error message that was displayed complain about port 8888 already being in use with an error message like this?

initInitialise: bind to port 8888 failed (Address already in use)

If this is what happened, pigpio can be told to use a different port number by calling configureSocketPort. Alternatively, pigpio can be told not to use a socket by calling configureInterfaces.

seems to be resolved in the last rel of the c library. need to be updated

As mentioned above, the pigpio Node.js module doesn't actually install the pigpio C library so there is no TODO for the pigpio Node.js module here.

Raspbian Buster 2020-02-05 comes with V71 of the pigpio C library preinstalled. The pigpio Node.js module works as expected on Raspbian Buster 2020-02-05.
