Change the name from AVRPROG to AVRDUDE.

Browse Source 
This change represents a name change only.  There is currently an
effort to port AVRPROG to other platforms including Linux and Windows.
Since Atmel's programmer binary that's included within their AVR
Studio software is named AVRPROG.EXE on the Windows OS, there is the
chance for confusion if we keep calling this program AVRPROG as well.
Up until now the name hasn't really been a problem since there was no
chance to confuse 'avrprog' on Unix with Atmel's AVRPROG because
Atmel's tools only run on Windows.  But with the Unix 'avrprog'
possibly being ported to Windows, I felt a name change was the best
way to avoid problems.

So - from this point forward, my FreeBSD Unix program formerly known
as AVRPROG will subsequently be known as AVRDUDE (AVR Downloader/UploaDEr).

This change also represents a time when the AVRDUDE sources move from
my own private repository to a public repository.  This will give
other developers a chance to port AVRDUDE to other platforms and
extend its functionality to support additional programming hardware,
etc.

So goodbye AVRPROG, welcome AVRDUDE!
