* If bootloaders are served, send word addresses for classic parts and
byte addresses for newer parts, eg, UPDI and PDI
* Load ext addr for stk500v1 bootloaders after grazing 64k boundaries
* Fix bootloader stk500v1 EEPROM r/w for classic parts with page size 1
* Print parms output to stdout
* Flush terminal writes and other minor changes
* Prepare terminal for periodic calls to programmer to reset bootloader WDT
* Only show progress reports for memories > 32 bytes or on -vv
* Freeze progress bar on serious error
* Allow cached r/w byte routines to be used in pgm->read_byte and pgm->write_byte
* Look for ~/.config/avrdude/config configuration file
Traditionally per-user configuration files have been placed
in user's home directory with their names beginnig with a dot
to hide them from some tools like ls(1). However, the number
of programs following this convention have grown over time
to the point where the number of hidden files becomes inconvenient to
some users. For this reason the XDG Base Directory Specification[1]
specifies an alternate place to store configuration files under
~/.config directory.
This patch enables avrdude to look for ~/.config/avrdude/config
configuration file, if ~/.avrduderc doesn't exist.

* Safely concatenate directories and configurations files and minor changes in docs
* Make stats variable available for WIN32 again in main.c
* Utilise full usr_config[] array space
* Check for xdg-style avrdude.rc file first before fallback ~/.avrduderc

* Provide cached byte-wise read/write API
int avr_read_byte_cached(const PROGRAMMER *pgm, const AVRPART *p, const
AVRMEM *mem, unsigned long addr, unsigned char *value);
int avr_write_byte_cached(const PROGRAMMER *pgm, const AVRPART *p, const
AVRMEM *mem, unsigned long addr, unsigned char data);
int avr_flush_cache(const PROGRAMMER *pgm, const AVRPART *p);
int avr_chip_erase_cached(const PROGRAMMER *pgm, const AVRPART *p);
int avr_reset_cache(const PROGRAMMER *pgm, const AVRPART *p);
avr_read_byte_cached() and avr_write_byte_cached() use a cache if paged
routines are available and if the device memory is EEPROM or flash,
otherwise they fall back to pgm->read_byte() and pgm->write_byte(),
respectively. Byte-wise cached read always gets its data from the cache,
possibly after reading a page from the device memory. Byte-wise cached
write with an address in memory range only ever modifies the cache. Any
modifications are written to the device after calling avr_flush_cache() or
when attempting to read or write from a location outside the address range
of the device memory.
avr_flush_cache() synchronises pending writes to EEPROM and flash with the
device. With some programmer and part combinations, flash (and sometimes
EEPROM, too) looks like a NOR memory, ie, one can only write 0 bits, not 1
bits. When this is detected, either page erase is deployed (eg, with parts
that have PDI/UPDI interfaces), or if that is not available, both EEPROM
and flash caches are fully read in, a pgm->chip_erase() command is issued
and both EEPROM and flash are written back to the device. Hence, it can
take minutes to ensure that a single previously cleared bit is set and,
therefore, this routine should be called sparingly.
avr_chip_erase_cached() erases the chip and discards pending writes() to
flash or EEPROM. It presets the flash cache to all 0xff alleviating the
need to read from the device flash. However, if the programmer serves
bootloaders (pgm->prog_modes & PM_SPM) then the flash cache is reset
instead, necessitating flash memory be fetched from the device on first
read; the reason for this is that bootloaders emulate chip erase and they
won't overwrite themselves (some bootloaders, eg, optiboot ignore chip
erase commands altogether) making it truly unknowable what the flash
contents on device is after a chip erase.
For EEPROM avr_chip_erase_cached() concludes that it has been deleted if a
previously cached EEPROM page that contained cleared bits now no longer
has these clear bits on the device. Only with this evidence is the EEPROM
cache preset to all 0xff otherwise the cache discards all pending writes
to EEPROM and is left unchanged otherwise.
Finally, avr_reset_cache() resets the cache without synchronising pending
writes() to the device.
