Etcher currently elevates a child writer proxy that itself spawns the
Etcher CLI in robot mode, parses the output, and proxies those messages
to the GUI application over IPC.
After these set of changes, Etcher elevates a single child writer
process that directly communicates back with the GUI using IPC. The main
purpose behind these changes is to simplify the overall architecture and
fix various issues caused by the current complex child process tree.
Here's a summary of the changes:
- Stop wrapping the Etcher CLI to perform writing
- Remove the robot option from the Etcher CLI (along with related
documentation)
- Elevate a new `child-write.js` standalone executable
- Move the relevant bits of `lib/child-writer` to the `image-writer` GUI
module
- Remove the `lib/child-writer` directory
- Add a new "Child died unexpectedly" Mixpanel event
- Floor state percentage in the flash state model
The above changes made is possible to tackle all the remaining issues
where the writer process would remain alive even if the parent died.
Change-Type: patch
Changelog-Entry: Ensure the writer process dies when the GUI application is killed.

This commit installs `node-usb` v1.3.0 from GitHub, since that version
was never published to NPM, and is the only one that works with Visual
Studio 2015 (see https://github.com/tessel/node-usb/issues/109).
The usbboot communicates with a Raspberry Pi / Amber through USB and
eventually mounts it as a block device we can write to.
This feature bundles bootcode.bin and start.elf from the original
usbboot implementation.
The flow is the following:
- On each scan, the usbboot scanner will try to get a usbboot compatible
USB device to the next "phase", until they are all transformed to
block devices the user can flash to as usual
Change-Type: minor
Changelog-Entry: Integrate Raspberry Pi's usbboot technology.

This allows selection of images without a secondary file extension
(i.e. `example.gz`, compared to `example.img.gz`) by defaulting to `img`
in the image-stream handlers, should no secondary extension be found.
Further this adjusts `.getPenultimateFileExtension()` to return `null`
if the detected penultimate extension is not a known file extension.

The usbboot integration will bring in drive objects that include a lot
more properties than the current drive objects. This commit ensures that
the redux store can handle those extra properties.

This commit changes the whole codebase to adhere to all StandardJS
guidelines rules except semicolons, since the removal of semicolons
affect pretty much all lines, and the final diff is very hard to follow
(and to assess other more involved changes).
In a nutshell:
- When using `function`, we now require a space before the opening
parenthesis
- If a line with operators is broken into multiple lines, the operator
should now go after the line break
- Unnecessary padding lines are now forbidden
There were also some minor things that the `standard` CLI caught that I
updated here.

Now that the Redux store is no longer front-end dependent, we can move
most of the models to lib/shared. Currently, lib/shared is a mess, and
contains all sorts of functionality, however moving things out of the
GUI is the first step. Once we have everything decoupled, we can
organise all the code we have there.
