This changes the image-stream tests to use a local directory,
instead of the OS's tmpdir to avoid issues with sandboxing on Concourse CI.

This commit introduces a Webpack configuration file that bundles the GUI
code along with its dependencies (except the Etcher SDK and its own
dependencies), and uses Babel to add support for JSX (required by the
Rendition library).
The GUI code that goes into the bundle was moved to `lib/gui/app` so we
can easily ignore the whole subdirectory when creating production
distributable packages.
We now have a new make target called `webpack` that can be used to
create the GUI bundle. Such target will be called everytime a package is
generated.

Sentry error reports showcase that elevation errors on Windows are one
of the most frequent Windows errors.
In order to perform Windows elevation, we ship compiled EXEs of a third
party CLI elevation application (http://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate/)
that has several limitations:
- We have the scan the output of the script to determine if a user
cancelled the elevation request, which causes all sorts of issues on
computers where English is not the main language
- The application displays a `cmd.exe` window for some milliseconds,
which is bad UX, that we have to workaround by distributing a patched
version of the tool
- The CLI application has to be spawned, which seems to be problematic
if users have anti-virus software, leading to hard to debug issues
- We don't have any control if something goes wrong
For these reasons, we decided to implement our own elevation mechanism
in C++ as a Node.js add-on, based on the `elevate.exe` code we where
previously using.
Misc changes:
- Introduce a `lib/shared/bindings.js` module to easily require local native
add-ons
- Install `cpplint` and configure it to lint C++ files
Note that for practical reasons, the C++ code lives in this repository
rather than in a separate module. We will release this functionality in
a more accessible way in the future as part of the Etcher SDK project.

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 `bluebird` module contains a directory called "release", which gets
omitted by `electron-packager`.
After some experimentation, there doesn't seems to be a way to make
`electron-packager` ignore a pattern only on the current directory,
therefore we change the name of our output directory to something that
can't possibly collide with something else.
