Updated

• Eboards, by Graham O'Neill. Added Chessnut EVO driver. For most of the boards added an option on the Config screen to "Show possible moves". This will highlight the squares a piece can move to when it's lifted up. For some boards (Novag/Saitek/Square Off) it wasn't possible and for the DGT Pegasus it didn't work well as only one LED can light at a time. Added BLE support to the Certabo and Tabutronic boards.
