Added a tiny function to allow the detaching of the current trip interrupt.

I was having some issues with the GPIO powering up my external circuit and even with the circuit at about ~50mA constant, I believe the startup transient current spike was triggering the current limit circuit.
My quick solution was to simply disable the current trip interrupt. I have added the function into the lib for others to use.
Warning: using this function means the current trip will not activate on overload and you will be relying on the PTC fuse.

A (likely better) alternative would be to turn the current limit reference DAC up to max for a short delay during boot, then returning to the per channel multiplied limit.
