fwts 13.08.00 released.

Version 13.08.00 of the Firmware Test Suite has been released today.  This latest release includes the following new features:

* uefirtvariable - can now specify number of iterations for high duration soak testing,
* new --acpica option to turn enable core ACPICA functionality (such as ACPI slack mode and serialized AML execution),
* sync klog scan patters with Linux 3.10,
* klog test now parses firmware related kernel warning messages,
* JSON log output now supports "pretty" formatting,
* update to ACPICA version 20130725
* SMBIOS and dmi_decode tests merged into a new dmicheck tests,

..and also the usual bug fixes.  We have been using Coverity Scan and this has helped to improve the quality of the code in the recent releases.
