3e38f500a9 Install to /cache/rayhunter-data for tplink, add --data-dir parameter
This fixes several space-related issues at once.

We have observed the following phenomenon on TP-Link, Orbic and Moxee:

- Filling /data bricks the device (broken wifi, broken rndis, broken
  display)

- Filling /cache does not (it only bricks rayhunter if it's installed
  there, and it might break firmware updates)

Therefore it would make sense to store the entire rayhunter installation
in /cache.

This is a great idea for TP-Link and Moxee, because /cache is
significantly larger than /data. However, on Orbic, /data is
significantly larger than /cache!

This PR refactors orbic-network and tplink to use a shared codepath for
setting up the data directory. A symlink is created at /data/rayhunter,
and what it points to is device-specific:

- Orbic will have its data at `/data/rayhunter-data`

- There is a new alias `installer moxee` that overrides this to
  `/cache/rayhunter-data`

- TP-Link will have its data at /cache/rayhunter-data when there's no SD
  card, and /media/whatever when there is one.

In all cases, existing data is migrated to the new location. The user
can switch back and forth between two values of --data-dir and the data
will be moved over every time.

This PR has one huge wart, and that is that the USB installer for Orbic
remains untouched. The annoying reason for this is that the
DeviceConnection trait is insufficient to reflect all the different
kinds of shells you can have over USB: adb with fakeroot, and serial
with real root. I think it's not possible to create the right
directories with 'rootshell -c'.

I'm thinking of spawning a telnet server over serial, so that we can
just do telnet again, but this is for another time.

d607c63cc8 Do not overwrite configs by default
On tplink and orbic, do not overwrite config files by default. There is
a new flag `installer orbic --reset-config` that one can use to restore
the old behavior. This fixes #778, a long-standing issue existent since
0.3.0.

The businesslogic for config file overrides is shared to some degree.
The Install trait from pinephone.rs has been moved out and renamed to
DeviceConnection for that purpose, so that `install_config` can be
shared across installers, which in turn can delegate to the trait for
running commands and copying files. This also works towards #542.

However, the pinephone and other installers have not been adapted to
support --reset-config out of fear of regressions. A future refactor by
somebody with ability to test on pinephone should probably also consider
using the same DeviceConnection impl as orbic, if possible.
