Etcher supports disabling the update notification dialog by setting the
`ETCHER_DISABLE_UPDATES` environment variable.
In order to simplify disabling updates for when these are managed by a
package manager (e.g. in a debian package), this removes support for the
`ETCHER_DISABLE_UPDATES` environment variable, and instead requires
packagers to tweak the `updates.enabled` property of the package.json
file, which is set to `true` by default.
We don't want to encourage end users to disable the update mechanism, so
the documention was removed from `USER-DOCUMENTATION.md`. This option
will remain as something only packagers should tweak.
Change-Type: minor
Changelog-Entry: Remove support for the `ETCHER_DISABLE_UPDATES` environment variable.

`etcher-latest-version` was kept in a separate repository in order to
re-use it with the Etcher website, however the Etcher website is not
using it at all, and we're moving towards having the website in the main
repository.
Therefore, this commit brings back the logic from
`etcher-latest-version`, but introduces it as
`lib/shared/s3-packages.js`, in order to not tie ourselves to the
AngularJS framework, and as a step towards the Etcher SDK.
As a nice little bonus, this commit adds support for an
`ETCHER_FAKE_S3_LATEST_VERSION` environment variable that can be used to
trick Etcher that there is an available update, and therefore show the
update notifier modal.
Also, this commit adds support for snapshot builds update-checks, by
checking the `resin-nightly-downloads` S3 bucket if the current version
contains a git commit hash build number.
If the version is not a production release, then the update notifier
modal doesn't present the checkbox to disable update notifications for X
days.
We also add a property called `updates.semverRange` to `package.json`,
which can be used to fine control which versions are considered as
candidates for an update notification.
This commit adds a setting called `includeUnstableChannel`, which can be
used to tweak whether unstable (beta) releases are considered or not
when checking for the latest available version.

- Mention the production and snapshot S3 bucket
- Remove the note that `aws-s3.sh` doesn't run on Windows
- Don't document `./scripts/publish/aws-s3.sh`. Encourage maintainers to
use `make publish-aws-s3` instead

This commit makes Appveyor and Travis CI publish snapshot builds to S3
when a pull request is merged, by making use of the `publish-aws-s3`
Makefile target.
The changes required for such type of deployment are the followings:
- Set `S3_BUCKET` to `resin-nightly-downloads` when doing snapshot
builds
- Add deploy sections to `.travis.yml` and `appveyor.yml` that run `make
publish-aws-s3`
- Don't change `PRODUCT_NAME` when doing snapshot builds (given we'll be
publishing to a different S3 bucket)
- Install `awscli` in Appveyor CI and Travis CI
- Make GNU/Linux Docker containers inherit `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` from the environment (so `awscli` is
configured correctly inside them)
- Add a prefix option to `aws-s3.sh` publish script to prepend a string
to the S3 path, so we can add a timestamp to more easily distinguish
files inside the `resin-nightly-downloads` bucket
- Print the published URL from `aws-s3.sh` for convenience purposes, so
we can click it when skimming through CI builds logs
- Add the `-R` and `-L` options when recursively copying `node_modules`
during a snapshot build to prevent weird Appveyor errors related to
hard links. The options listed before make sure that we recursively
resolve every link while copying
- Move from `wget` to `curl` to avoid certificate check failures

This commit introduces a `RELEASE_TYPE` option to the Makefile, which
can be either `production` or `snapshot`. If its `production`, the
behaviour its same as it was before.
If `RELEASE_TYPE` is `snapshot`, the shorter version of the current
commit hash is appended to the version (replacing the
`APPLICATION_VERSION` in the Makefile, as well as the `package.json`
version inside the `.asar`), and the publish scripts get configured to
deploy to different "snapshot" locations.
This commit also reduces the size of the version tag in the bottom right
corner a bit so that it fits when the commit hash is appended to it.

If there are any files publishable to S3 then a `publish-aws-s3` target will
automagically exist, and similarly if there are any files publishable to
Bintray then a `publish-bintray-debian` target will automagically exist.
Like all phony targets, these get displayed by `make help` when available.
We are now going to be adding links to files published in AWS S3 in
GitHub Releases, so that people used to finding pre-built versions of
the software in GitHub Releases will be re-directed to the right place,
while we still keep the analytics advantages that S3 provides us.

This Makefile ties together all the build scripts we've been developing
so far. It currently only supports UNIX based operating systems, but
Windows support will be added soon.

The `darwin.sh` script now accepts the following commands:
- `develop-electron`
- `installer-dmg`
- `installer-zip`
In order to accomplish this, `./scripts/darwin/package.sh` is no longer
relying on `electron-packager`.

The GNU/Linux build script (as the rest of the OSes will in the near
future), now accepts the following command:
- `develop-electron`
- `develop-cli`
- `installer-cli`
- `installer-appimage`
- `installer-debian`
Each of the commands is now completely independent from the others.

We were previously requiring users to run the exact same NodeJS version as
Electron bundled in order to avoid native add-on compilation incompatibilities,
however this problem is completely mitigated by configuring NPM to build
against an Electron specific V8.

Currently build scripts install dependencies and package everything on
every run. In order to allow more customisation, the build scripts now
accept the following commands:
- `install`: Only install dependencies.
- `package`: Only package the application.
- `all`: Install dependencies and package the application.
The above differentiation allows us to improve the documentation and CI
configuration files to point to the `install` commands instead of having
to explain how to configure NPM correctly, since that's done by the
build scripts by default.

Not building Etcher with the exact NodeJS version bundled with Electron
can cause all sorts of weird issues. This was previously documented, but
its now enforced so Etcher packagers don't forget by accident.
