The GUI upgrade still has serious problems coping with the
fact that it is being updated.  In the latest upgrade the
move of set_language() causes an error so we just avoid it

last bits and pieces for https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/117 although rc.filter_synchronize really needs a rewrite at a later moment.

increase error reporting.

will be one step closer to reliable firmware upgrades.

replace xmlrpc server and include example stub, legacy methods not implemented yet. client also needs some work
