Simplify FW sync system

[toliver]

An easy way to simplify it would be to modify the scripts in sr_external_dependencies so that they don't update/checkout the svn directories.

We could use svn export to avoid having all the svn files stored in the git repository.

As far as I know the only drawback would be not having the svn version information available to tag the commit where we do the release.

Something we discussed with @Rocketmagnet was to migrate his firmware development to github to have a more streamlined process.

But we need a way to auto-generate the version number. Currently we're
doing that using PySVN.

use git's sha? it looks weirder than a revision number but is unique
