662c589ab9 Implement writing by spawning the CLI as a child process (#400)
After this change, the CLI becomes the only entity actually performing
I/O with the devices, and the GUI is just a wrapper around it.

When you click "Flash", the GUI spawns the CLI with all the appropriate
options, including `--ipc`, which uses an IPC communication channel to
report status back to the parent process.

4a856d24df Add entry point file to decide between GUI/CLI (#365)
This file runs the Etcher CLI if the binary was ran with
`ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE`, or the GUI otherwise.
