Remove the "safemode" feature.

Browse Source 
This feature has been designed with the sometimes quite flakey direct
(parallel or serial port attached) bitbang programming adapters in
mind that were quite common about two decades ago.

With parallel ports vanishing from modern PCs almost completely, and
the advent of various USB-attached low-cost programming devices,
this class of programmers disappeared almost completely.

Furthermore, the fuse combinations that were covered by the feature
are no longer around on all recent AVR devices, so for an ever
increasing number of devices, safemode already became meaningless and
was turned off anyway.

With the prospective version 7.x release, it's a good point in time to
introduce a major change like this one.

- Started to add CMake (by now, parallel with autoconf/automake)
- New-architecture devices (AVR8X mega and tiny) can access all
fuses, and memory display shows meaningful alias names
- The "safemode" feature has been removed. The major class of
programmers it has been designed for (lowlevel bitbang
programmers on parallel or serial ports) virtually doesn't exist
anymore, and the fuse combination that was covered by it do not
match the fuses of modern AVR devices anyway.
