As changes to config.json may restart the supervisor before it can
trigger the reboot (or something can kill the supervisor before it can run that step),
the supervisor needs a persistent signal that a reboot is required
(instead of the current transient signal).
With this commit, the supervisor will now create a breadcrumb in the
host `/tmp` folder, that will be checked as the last step of the
configuration changes.
As config.json changes may restart the engine (and hence the supervisor)
in newer OS versions, this ensures that the supervisor does not get
interrupted while writing to backends.
On devices with bandwidth sensitivity, this config var
disables sending system information such as memory
usage or cpu temp as current state.

'mz' can be safely replaced with fs.promises
and util.promisify for faster native methods.
'mkdirp' after Node v8 uses native fs.mkdir, thus
is redundant. 'body-parser' is deprecated and
contained within express v4.x.

Setting this this variable to a base64 encoded string will replace the splash
image on the device by rewriting `/mnt/boot/splash/balena-logo.png`.
This will also make a copy of the default balena logo so the splash can
be restored if the variable is removed.

The `ensureRequiredOverlay` function is currently ran for any backend,
at this moment this causes no issue, since most configuration backends
are defined per single device type. However, with the option to modify splash
images, which is available for all device types, the function would add
unwanted configuration vars to the splash image configuration. Moving it
to the config txt backend solves this issue.
