LiveUSBCreator as Primary Downloadable

The new Fedora Live USB Creator that is being finished has an overhauled, more user friendly interface. Because USB sticks are the most common way to install Fedora, it should be the primary download option. It cover the whole installation media creation, it lets the user pick the right flavor of Fedora, downloads its image, and copies it to a USB drive.

Deprecation of ipcalculator

Fedora provides two tools for IP address calculations. That is the ipcalculator and ipcalc. Ipcalculator was geared towards being used by administrators and ipcalc for use with scripts. This changed with Fedora 23 which provided an updated ipcalc tool which can be used both interactively and from scripts. That, and the fact that ipcalculator is not IPv6-ready suggests we should deprecate ipcalculator and keep a single tool for the job, ipcalc.
