auto_rx v1.7.1 released - Bugfixes for iMet sondes, Record RS41 mainboard type and cal data

[Mark Jessop]

Hi all,

This is mainly a bug-fix release to resolve the iMet decoding issues from v1.7.0, though I have taken the opportunity to add some functionality to log and upload additional information for Vaisala RS41's.

Recently updated PCBs have been spotted in RS41s launched from Vaisala HQ in Helsinki, Finland. These new PCBs have a mainboard version number of RSM42x (compared to RSM412 for the older models), and have a newer STM32 microcontroller and uBlox-10 GPS receiver. auto_rx will now upload the mainboard version information to SondeHub, where it will be visible on the tracker and help identify newer RS41 versions as they are rolled out!

This release brings the following updates:
- RS41 Decoding: Extract the RS41 Mainboard model number and firmware version, and upload these to SondeHub. This will allow us to keep track of the rollout of the new RSM42x 'refreshed' RS41 mainboards. If the mainboard version is not RSM412 (the 'standard' RS41 mainboard), then it will also be shown in the 'other' column on the web interface.
- RS41 Decoding: Upload complete subframe (calibration) data to SondeHub, and optionally save it to disk (https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Configuration-File-Changelog#version-171).
- iMet Decoding: Fix issue where iMets were detected as iMet-1 sondes when `wideband_sondes` was enabled.
- iMet Decoding: Fix bug where iMet telemetry with XDATA included was not being uploaded to SondeHub.
- Web Interface: If a sonde has XDATA, the type is now displayed as <type>-XDATA instead of <type>-Ozone.
- Log files & general: Log files will now have -XDATA appended to the sonde type instead of -Ozone if XDATA is present.

Configuration File Changes this release:
* Added `save_cal_data` option, which saves Vaisala RS41 raw calibration data to disk. Refer  here (https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Configuration-File-Changelog#version-171) for details.
