[Commotion-admin] [commotion-router] Give router image files human-readable names (#164)

[Andy Gunn]

During our last workshop, the very long file names for the Commotion images was a source of confusion. I understand there is a lot of information encoded in the name of the image file, and that information is important, but 99% of people can't decode that information anyways. A more useful name would include:
* The name of the distribution of openwrt: Commotion
* The version of Commotion: 1.1 or 1.2, etc
* The manufacturer: TP-Link, Ubiquiti, etc
* The router model: WDR3600-v1 or Rocket-M-XM or Rocket-M-XW, etc
* Whether the file is an installation or upgrade file.

The existing filename 
**openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-bullet-m-squashfs-factory.bin**
would change to:
**Commotion-1.1-Ubiquiti-Bullet-M-install.bin**
It would also be necessary to create copies of this file that were identical, but had a different name, such as:
**Commotion-1.1-Ubiquiti-PicoStation-M-install.bin**, **Commotion-1.1-Ubiquiti-AirGrid-M-install.bin**

This strips the information most people aren't familiar with or able to decode - ar71xx, generic, squashfs.

This would eliminate the confusion between the different types of files, and what version has been downloaded (a problem other networks have encountered in the past, when dealing with versions of Commotion over several years).
