In tools menu, boards belonging to each platform are grouped together. The title of the groups is the board package name. When switching between versions, mentioning the version number in package name helps identify the installed version. Rename board group from "ESP8266 Modules" to "ESP8266 Boards", to be more similar to other platforms, and to reflect the fact that most entries included are boards, not modules. As an extra change, when building the boards manager package, set version number in platform.txt based on git tag name. This saves one step when creating the release — don't need to update platform.txt twice. Closes #5007.

In tools menu, boards belonging to each platform are grouped together.
The title of the groups is the board package name. When switching
between versions, mentioning the version number in package name helps
identify the installed version.
Rename board group from "ESP8266 Modules" to "ESP8266 Boards (2.5.0-dev)", to be
more similar to other platforms, and to reflect the fact that most
entries included are boards, not modules.
In the next released version (e.g. 2.5.0) the name will be automatically set to "ESP8266 Boards (2.5.0)".
As an extra change, when building the boards manager package, set
version number in platform.txt based on git tag name. This saves one
step when creating the release — don't need to update platform.txt
twice.
Closes #5007.
