GW1000 driver v0.3.0

[gjr80]

I have released v0.3.0 on GitHub.

This release:

- includes support for the yet to be released WH35 leaf wetness sensor. If you have a WH35 sensor and it has been linked to your GW1000 v0.3.0 of the driver should automatically pick up and emit the WH35 sensor data.

- fixes the loss of battery state data for some sensors that occurred under
GW1000 firmware release v1.6.5 and later.

- includes the --units command line option to allow the output of --live-data to
be displayed in specified units (US customary or Metric) when running the driver directly

Various other minor changes are covered in the release notes at the link above.

Those that installed a previous version via wee_extension can upgrade to v0.3.0 as follows:

$ wget -P /var/tmp https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/releases/download/v0.3.0/gw1000-0.3.0.tar.gz

$ wee_extension --install=/var/tmp/gw1000-0.3.0.tar.gz

Note: wee_extension may require the use of sudo and the path to wee_extension as applicable.

Thank you so much for your work on this Gary! Installing the update now.

Timed nicely to coincide with my getting my data into a new database (from an old WH1080) and swapping it back in -- I hadn't realized I was now using a new schema. May help some other schlub if you add an introductory line

Note: If switching from a station using the default schema you will need to convert your old database in order to back load it.

A non-issue for anyone starting from scratch of course. Forgive me if this is too obvious! I was happy to be able to check on every GW1000 station on the map and will add mine soon. This driver should drive a lot more installations. It's such a nice change from dealing with a USB console. THANK YOU!
