This PR makes use of `node-ipc` to emit progress information from the
child CLI to the GUI process rather than the tailing approach we've
been doing until now.
This change was motivated by the following Electron fix which landed in
v1.4.4: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/7578. Before such fix,
Electron would not output anything to stdout/stderr if the Electron
process was running with `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` under Windows, which
forced us to implement `--log` option in the Etcher CLI to output state
information to a file.
Since this issue is fixed, we can consume the Etcher CLI output from
within `child_process.spawn`, which opens more interesting possibilities
for sharing information between both processes.
This coindentally fixes a Windows issue where the tailing module would
receive malformed JSON, causing Etcher to crash at `JSON.parse`. The
reason of this problem was a bug in the tailing module we were using.

This new version stops sending a `passedValidation` boolean property
upon completion and still throws an `EVALIDATION` error when validation
fails.
Such small chance allows us to get rid of lot of complexity related to
handling the `passedValidation` value in the application state.

In order to get the bmap file contents to the Etcher CLI, we were
handling extraction, writing to a temporary file, then reading again,
and all sorts of other mumbo-jumbo, without realising that
`etcher-image-stream` already has this information right where we need
it (in the CLI's writer module) and in the way we need it (as plain
text).
Re-using from there hugely simplifies things.

This PR integrates `.bmap` support recently added to
`etcher-image-write` into Etcher itself.
It does it in the following way:
- It adds a `--bmap` option to the Etcher CLI.
- It saves a potential `bmap` file contents to the
`SelectionStateModel`.
- In the GUI, at the time of writing, if there is a `bmap` file content
in `SelectionStateModel`, it gets written to a temporary file and such
path is passed as the `--bmap` option to the CLI.
Since validation checksums don't make sense anymore, the finish screen
doesn't show the checksum box in this case.
Change-Type: minor
Changelog-Entry: Add `.bmap` support.
