Affordable ESP8266 based gateway build instructions

Nice writeup, @GFlater! However, I think you should be clearer about the fact that this is a single-channel gateway, and not a real gateway. Like @mfalkvidd says, a single channel gateway is great for testing, but it will not really help the network (it only captures 3% of the channels*spreading factors) and it will therefore definitely confuse people. For the time being, we’re allowing single-channel gateways on TTN, but in order to keep confusion to a minimum, we will hide them from the maps (or somehow indicate that they’re not real gateways).
