Thread (and OpenThread) does not employ any form of transmit power control.
As a result, while OpenThread provides APIs to control transmit power, it
simply buffers and passes the transmit power value straight through to the
radio.
Currently, the transmit power APIs allow specifying an int8_t in units of
dBm. This is overly constraining for platforms that have more advanced ways
of configuring the transmit power.
This commit removes the transmit power configuration from the core. This
provides better flexibility in platform-specific ways to configure transmit
power.
* [mac filter] add rssfilter support and integrate whitelist/blacklist
- provide RssIn filter function to fix the received signal strength for test purpose.
- provide Address filter function which integrates whitelist and blacklist, save (~300B) RAM.
- update cli and spinel-cli to reflect new otLinkFilterX() APIs.
- keep whitelist/blacklist spinel properties the same as before while implemented with new otLinkFilterX() APIs.
- THCI: add setOutBoundLinkQuality() API for DEV-1530
- THCI: update Allow/Block relative APIs
- update some test scripts due to new OT_ERROR_ALEADY when adding duplicate address to whitelist

This is the first of the Windows implementation code that will be merged. This is only the driver code.
Also note the updates to the appveyor configuration. It now builds, installs and queries the status of driver directly on the build machine. Then it builds an 'artifact' which is essentially the binaries packaged up.
