emOS v0.8

Any WiFi network name works in em-wifi.

What changed

em-wifi, the console tool for setting WiFi without the wizard, now handles
every network name the WiFi standard allows. It cut a name at its first space
("My Home WiFi" became "My"), and wrote names and passwords into the config
unescaped, so a " or \ broke it. Names are now read exactly, including
spaces, quotes, accented letters and emoji, and passwords are taken as typed.
It checks a password is 8-63 printable characters, or 64 hex digits, before
writing anything (#586).

The init is unchanged from v0.7.

Upgrading

Re-run the provisioning wizard's build and flash steps. Nothing on /data is
touched, so your WiFi and console password survive.

Known issues in this release

• Devices registering as unknown-device are fixed by device firmware
  v2.16.0, not by emOS.
• WiFi on FireOS 6 with a WPA3 or mixed WPA2/WPA3 network does not work and
  cannot: the driver has no SAE and the kernel is too old for us to do it in
  userspace. Set the network to WPA2. em-wifi marks such networks
  (WPA3 - not supported) rather than offering them (#536).
