Added support for STC8H1KxxT

Fixed the automatic protocol detection to support the STC8H1KxxT series.

Release 1.8

This release introduces major new features: support for much newer STC devices and significant compatibility improvements with some older devices.

This release includes the following changes:

• Added support for all STC8 series and STC32 series (protocols stc8d and stc8g).
• Changed default transfer baud rate to 115200.
• Added -A option to choose between RTS and DTR for automatic power cycling.
• Added Chinese translation for documentation.
• Replaced dump-mcu.py with dump-mcu.c for fully automatic MCU models extraction.
• Added stc89a protocol for STC89/90 series with BSL 7.2.5C.
• Added -e option to erase flash only
• Improve compatibility with STC15x10xW devices

Note: release 1.7 has been revoked due to a release management error.
