Rename samsung-i9505 to samsung-jflte

Grant Miller requested to merge GrantM11235/pmbootstrap:jflte-rename into master

There are many variants of the Samsung Galaxy S4, the codename jflte refers to ones with a Snapdragon 600 SoC. There is also a suffix depending on the carrier, for example the international GT-I9505 is jfltexx and the Sprint SPH-L720​ is jfltespr. As far as I can tell, the only differences between the different versions of jflte have to do with the cellular radio.

I have tested this on my jfltespr, and everything in the "What Works" section of the wiki page works on my device.

I also ran bootimg_analyze on the TWRP images for the following devices, and other that some small variation in deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline, the results were identical:

  • jflteatt
  • jfltecan
  • jfltecri
  • jfltespi
  • jfltespr
  • jfltetmo
  • jflteusc
  • jfltevzw
  • jfltexx

In addition to changing (device|linux|firmware)-samsung-i9505 to (device|linux|firmware)-samsung-jflte, this Merge Request also changes "Samsung Galaxy S4 International" to "Samsung Galaxy S4" in the pkgdescs and deviceinfo_name. Should this be changed to include Snapdragon 600?

Todo:

The CI will fail until the changes to the wiki are made, but I don't want to mess with the wiki unless it looks like this MR will be accepted.

PS: I also have a few fixes for this device, but I intend to submit them as a separate MR.
