v2017.07.0

[Sascha Hauer]

Hi All,

I just releaed barebox-2017.07.0. The reason for this early release is
that I am away for the next two months. During this time Lucas will take
over maintainership and also make the next release.

Most notable new feature this time I think is the support for links to
directories. Until now only links to files were supported. Links to
directories help for example on the Omap port where we used to mount
the partition the ROM boots from to /boot. With links to directories we
can now mount the partition to its standard location in /mnt/... while
still maintaining the /boot/ directory several Omap boot scripts depend
on. I am sure links to directories will prove useful on other occasions
aswell.

See below for a detailed list of changes that went into this release.
