JSON Board file conflict causes one to disappear. #55

I found you can only install either the generic esp8266 board definitions or SparkFun's esp8266 board definitions. This explains why I was seeing a file path conflict when installing both board definitions. (When, I tested this issue on a few systems (Windows and Mac using Arduino IDE version 1.8.5) and sometimes both folders are included, but other times the folders get overwritten by the new board definitions. Overall, the Arduino IDE is only able to see one of the board definition folders (or package) in either situation.)

I created a pdf with instructions for a teacher, a few months back, to remove all definitions and only install SparkFun's board definitions. This should workaround the issue until the .json file is updated.

Since the Blynk board has now been moved to ESP8266's repo, and there are no other ESP8266 board files that we support in this repo, I'm going to close this out.
