update fwbuilder to version 5.3.7

[André Bauer]

After http://www.fwbuilder.org has dropped development of FWBuilder it should be considered if the continuation of the project on https://github.com/UNINETT/fwbuilder could be used for new builds / packages.

Currently available is version 5.3.7.

Debian dir is available and build works on Xenial.

If somebody likes to try it i created a ppa with 5.3.6 packages for trusty, wily and xenial.

Is use the xenial package at the moment.
Works without problems.

There will be an official continuation of fwbuilder from the former uninett developer Sirius Bakke.

It seems he will also transfer fwbuilder.org to his ow webspace. Info is from the following issue: https://github.com/fwbuilder/fwbuilder/issues/4
