[RE-wrenches] Schneider Bootloader mode

[drake.chamberlin at redwoodalliance.org]

Unfortunately no options are provided to do anything, including no 
option to update the firmware. The Charge controller is completely 
locked out, cannot be affected in anyway by the Gateway.

The config tool will be the next attempt.

Thanks,

Drake
