This PR adds support for overriding the name of the compiled firmware binary by setting
PROG
from the command line or from another Makefile; e.g., one can now do fancy stuff this:PROG=crazyflie-firmware-$(git describe) make
This will build the firmware in a way that the name of the Git revision is included in the filename. This is useful for archival purposes. One other possible use-case is that when compiling a Crazyflie app, you can override the name of the firmware in the app makefile so you can easily identify which app was built in a particular binary.
