-Better error handling and displaying UI faults to user

Fixes:
-UI stat bug cause by old corrupt log files
-Issue causing internal error when both wifi and ethernet interfaces are used
-Additional bug fixes and improvements

You should see a yellow update button on your UI, press this to start the update and wait until either the UI automatically reloads, or refresh your browser once you see your Apollo start mining again.

If you encounter any issues wait at least 15 minutes before you do anything as rebooting or power cycling during an update thats not complete can brick your system. Rebooting should fix any UI issues after the update.

Also encountered a small issue where if your Apollo has over 2-3 months of uptime, pulling the new update from git might not work, so if you have a really long uptime reboot your Apollo before starting the update (good practice either way to reboot it before performing updates as that clears memory and caches that could stall the update).
