Ethos Suite 1.7.0

We found that the older Suite versions were using tokens which has been expired to fetch the Github releases. So this is an update to make the basic functionality of Suite being available. We still have many optimizations related to the new Simulator to be implemented later

Ethos Simulator introduced

• Provide download and execution functionality for all available web simulators.
• Introduce the real radio's hardware panel, being able to control hardware within the simulator.
• Quickly reload and simulate radio files, such as models and scripts.
• Introduced new layout in the simulator tab. All tab windows can be freely dragged, resized, merged and separated.
• Introduced the ability to execute multiple simulator scripts at once. Allow simulator scripts to be interrupted during execution.
• Added new commands to the command-line tool.
  • {SUITE_APP_NAME} --sim-path {/path/to/.simulator.json} [--radio {RADIO}] will return the simulator system file path. If a radio is specified, it will return the simulator system file path of the specified radio

Enhancements

• Check the Bluetooth Chip firmware version after Ethos update.
• Prepared for the upgrade process to Ethos 1.7.0.
• Introduced proxy settings: No proxy, Use system proxy, Custom proxy.
• Partial UI changes.

Fixes

• To avoid using expired GitHub tokens
• Fixed the issue in Ethos 1.7.0 where Suite incorrectly resolved the i18n file paths.

Please attach the way to reproduce the bug or debug output files if possible when you open an issue.
