We currently ship with `bootcode.bin` and `start.elf` from the Raspberry
Pi Foundation, which provide a writing speed of about 6 MB/s. This PR
includes new boot files by resin.io that boost the speed to ~20 MB/s.

Changelog-Entry: Increase the flashing speed of usbboot discovered devices.

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.
