firmare extraction process

I tried to use my Kings LA2016 in PulseView, but it doesn't seem to find the firmware files.
What I did:
1. Downloaded linux software from manufacturer,
2. Downloaded sigrok-util snapshot (commit hash 6e6c47d),
3. Used the script to extract fw/bitstream files,
4. Copied the firmware to various locations where PulseView is supposed to find them,
5. Confirmed in About section both locations and the fact that firmware was not correctly recognized

See attached screenshots for reference (I guess I have to add them one by one in comments)

Hello, the driver was added on June 6th: https://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=libsigrok.git;a=commit;h=f2cd2debf9dcbf0e83ec70d8ea41d8421a400dfd

PV 0.4.2 was released on Mar 31st. That's why you don't see the kingst-la2016 driver in the driver list.

Please try again using a nightly build.
