Add board type to $I output #29

Having the board type the firmware is compiled for built into the info report can be helpful in making sure that the user is not running the wrong firmware. I'm sure there are more efficient ways to accomplish this, but this required the least change to the existing process.

I don't think this is the best way to do it. This change could potentially break compatibillity with some host softwares that search for an exact string in the $I response. Some others (like LaserWeb) don't use $I but the welcome (init) message instead.
