Re-base HypriotOS on Buildroot.org / SkiffOS?

[paralin]

Hypriot is a pre-configured version of Debian with Docker installed. Buildroot is a tool for cross-compiling a GNU/Linux OS for a target system, with easy customization and adaptation to other types of systems.

SkiffOS is a tool for building a minimal immutable OS image optimized with Docker with the latest kernel, firmware, etc, for over 20 board types, which uses Buildroot: https://github.com/skiffos/skiffos

It might make sense to reduce maintenence overhead for Hypriot by using the approach shown here to use SkiffOS as a sub-module of Hypriot and provide all of the device configurations: https://github.com/skiffos/skiff-ext-example
