FIRST crashes with the latest IDA version 7.0.171130

tested with:
VERSION = 'BETA'
DATE = 'August 2017'
BEGIN = 2014
END = 2017

Seems to be related to HexRays removing an API from their IDP hook class

This issue is caused by the evolution of IDA Python and its exposed APIs. Prior to IDA Pro 7.0 IDP_Hooks used auto_queue_empty to handle auto queue events. IDA Pro 7.0 migrated to ev_auto_queue_empty, doing away with the auto_queue_empty IDP_Hooks method. IDA Pro 7.0 service pack did away with both, however ev_auto_queue_empty is still being called even through the parent class does not contain this method.

The exception occurs when FIRST starts up, thereby, preventing essential configuration and initialization. Code below is not executed and causes issues with the plugin.
