Apio configuration

Apio backend is configured in the app/package.json file:

• apio.min: minimum version (>=)
• apio.max: maximum version (<)
• apio.extras: list of external Python programmers (blackiceprog, tinyfpgab)
• apio.external: load an external Apio package instead of the default one (e.g. /path/to/my/apio)
• apio.branch: install Apio from the repository branch instead of PyPI.

An external Apio package can be also set on runtime using the ICESTUDIO_APIO environment variable.
