domoticz: update to 3.9571 and clean up FHS handling

Upstream has merged a simplified version of the FHS patch, with a few changes... Scripts are actually configuration. There are examples, but the point is that you write your own. So they should live in the data directory (e.g. /var/lib/domoticz) not in /usr/share/domoticz. The only exception is the dzVents runtime. So.... the upstream patch handles the dzVents runtime bit. Drop the part of our patch which added -scripts, because it can just be based in the userdata directory and we don't need to change that. Ship the default scripts/ directory in /etc/domoticz/scripts, and on startup make a *symlink* to it from /var/lib/domoticz/scripts. Symlink from /etc/domoticz/scripts/dzVents{data,generated_scripts} to temporary directories under /var/lib/domoticz/dzVents so that those directories (which are written to by Domoticz) don't land on the root file system. Anyone with a writeable file system who *wants* the data/ directory to be persistent, can change that. Just as they can change the userdata config option to point to a real file system somewhere. Also drop the renaming of the OpenZWave Config/ directory. It's purely cosmetric so there's no need for us to carry that change. It can go upstream first, if it really offends anyone. Drop the patches which are now merged upstream, and turn off the newly added USE_OPENSSL_STATIC. Add -noupdates to the command line. Finally, gzip the static www files to save space. In the common case, clients will use "Accept-Encodiong: gzip" and Domoticz will serve them as-is. It can also decompress on the fly if it really has to, but now we aren't asking it to *compress* on the fly, which is probably a losing proposition on an OpenWRT box.
