Issue was uncovered by sphinx-build:
docs/user/getting_started.rst:100: WARNING: Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

This new build flag is mandatory for now (it may default to 0 in a future
Gluon version). It may be set to the following values:

* 0 - Do not build any images for deprecated devices.
* upgrade - Only build sysupgrade images for deprecated devices.
* full - Build both sysupgrade and factory images for deprecated devices.

"Other" images are handled like factory images, as they are also used for
the initial installation of Gluon on a device.

I just followed this document on a Debian Stretch, and it worked out of
the box. So let's use Debian's current stable release here.

With all the packages being built 10GB are not enough anymore.

fixes an error and removes the focus on ath10k

defaults to 11s, allowing to build devices without IBSS-support

obsoletes GLUON_ATH10K_MESH

Adding the fact that GLUON_RELEASE is needed with 'make manifest'
if it is used with 'make'.

This fact was mentioned in the v2017.1 release notes but is not (clearly)
mentioned inside other parts of the documentation.
