[arm-allstar] Pi4B Release

[David McGough]

So, what is absurd?

Looking at the published benchmarks, the RPi4 is significantly more
powerful that its predecessors. AND, it includes a REAL GigE capable
network interface, as well as 2 USB3 ports....All these features combined 
seem to constitute a "giant leap" to me, rather than a "small step."

IMO, if the initial hype is true, this board is a real game changer.  
Further, I doubt that it will use much more power than an RPi3b+ for
"typical" AllStar use.


I've already ordered a new 1GB RPi4 to evaluate. We'll see.
