- add support for sending flash file from stdin, allowing piping file from another machine - no longer reboots upon completion. Just restarts mmdvmhost service. - preserves the state of mmdvmhost service (only restarts if it was running) - puts temporary files in /tmp to avoid need to make filesystem RW

In my experimentation, I have been developing on a remote machine and then pushing my firmware changes to the RPi and MMDVM board. With this method, I have found it helpful to avoid the need to make the filesystem read/write, copy the file and the invoke the flash command.
The attached commit adds support for piping stdin as the source of the firmware in pistar-mmdvmhshatflash-custom. e.g:
ssh [email protected] sudo pistar-mmdvmhshatflash-custom - < mylocalfirmwarefile.binIt also skips the full reboot of the Pi by just restarting the MMDVM host service. This has seemed to work fine for me in practice.
There is also a small help text typo fix.
