20170326

What's new:

• OS: merged with Buildroot 2017.02
• OS: bananapi: updated kernel to 4.9.13 (fixes ethernet connection issues)
• OS: odroidxu4: updated kernel to 4.9.13
• OS: raspberrypi: added support for Raspberry PI Zero W board
• OS: removed wget in favor of curl
• OS: all boards support now firmware update via UI (see notes below)

While this release isn't spectacular from the new features point of view, it bears two significant changes to the underlying OS:

1. motionEyeOS is now derived from thingOS rather than directly from Buildroot. Over the years, I realized that a large part of the work done for motionEyeOS can be applied to other IoT-like projects using these boards. thingOS is an effort to generalize this work and make it available for other projects.
   In a nutshell, OS-related changes will be committed to thingOS while motionEye-related changes will still be committed to motionEye. motionEyeOS is now combination of the two.

2. The firmware updating mechanism has been decoupled from motionEye and is now handled by the fwupdate script, which is part of thingOS. Each platform handles the update process its own way and everything can now be done via command line, if necessary.

What's new:

• OS: motion daemon upgraded to 4.0.
• OS: kernels updated for many boards
• motionEye: added support for motion 4.0
• motionEye: detected motion version is now displayed in the settings panel

note: since there's no motion-mrdave binary anymore, users that have explicitly set the motion binary path to /usr/bin/motion-mrdave will have to change it back to empty field, or to /usr/bin/motion.
