This is a fix for #3234 from @sandeen
The original description is:

This adds capability to update the SPIFFS image via the same mechanism as firmware in the ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer.

It does not provide any dependency or linkage between firmware and spiffs image updating; they are each taken on their own, each followed by a reboot.

(I wrote this before seeing the other PR #2701 for similar functionality; I like this a bit better, because it uses the available SPIFFS size, and does not hide magic numbers (U_SPIFFS) in the html...)

(It also cleans up a stray \n from commit ace0622)

We'd really like to see this functionality in the library for the OpenEVSE wifi project

This is my first try at this, mostly cribbing from the ESP8266httpUpdate version of the updater - happy to fix up anything as needed.

Thanks,
-Eric

I'm using this feature for a while and it works great!

I think it deserves a little more explanation here...
I don't use ArduinoIDE, in fact I do use VisualStudio together to VMicro addon http://www.visualmicro.com/ (because I'm a C# programmer and I don't want to be switching IDEs).
From this addon, I'm able to generate both sketch and SPIFFS easily.
The original ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer class works fine for sketch binary, but I hadn't no other way to push SPIFF besides the serial (and I was limited to use only 256KB sketch).
That's why this PR is so important to me, because I'm free to use the whole 1MB of ESP (and I'm pretty sure that, if I upgrade it to a 4MB flash, it will work flawless)

Just for curiosity, does this PR have no importance at all?

@caverna it's important, I may include this in my own application. We're just prioritizing stability for 2.4.1 and likely 2.5.0 as well, which means complex enhancements like this one get pushed back a little. Please be patient, we'll get there.

Ok, the library has changed a lot...
How can I get now the start and the size of the SPIFF?

It was _SPIFFS_start, it is now _FS_start (and _end, _page and _block, #5511)

Hi @d-a-v !
I did check Travis results but I have no clue how to fix it (error messages doesn't help).

Symbols _Fs_end and _Fs_start aren't defined.

@caverna Yes it seems @earlephilhower is right and names could be more generic
"spiffs" -> "filesystem" in ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer-impl.h around L30 and L95,
