Generate artifacts for the back-end boards

Summary

The new (and old) software architecture requires artifacts to be pushed to the back-end board to ensure correct operations. These artifacts include (not exclusive list):

  • The firmware bitstreams
  • The software RPC modules
  • The address table (as long as it useful on the back-end board)

Depends on #61, although the work on the RPC modules could be started before.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The artifacts are copied to a well-known location during the installation process so that high-level software can use them to configure the back-end board.

The well-know location prefix is likely to be ${CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_DATAROOTDIR}, i.e. /opt/cmsgemos/share. The precise suffix should be discussed here and must be able to cope with the different GEM stations and back-end boards (let's call the combinations, flavors).
