Integrate old INSTALL into README.md, both files had a lot
of (potential) overlap.
Add template for new entries in NEWS, targetting next release.
Bump version number to 6.99-20211218
Tentatively, with the Github migration and all ongoing code
restructuring, we aim for a version 7.0 release at some point
in the future.
gmake (GNU make) appears to handle some dependencies better here than
bmake (BSD make).

In main.c, drop unused variable `fuses_specified'.
Variable ran out of service in r519, but never got removed.

Seems it's not really needed for modern FT245, and it has the
potential to break bulk readout.

This offers the additional advantage of being able to parse kHz and

* ft245r.c (ft245r_set_bitclock): add workaround for
FT245 hardware bugs in bitclock setting
Correct baud rate calculation (multiplying with factor of 2 was wrong)
and add compile-time workaround for FTDI chips suffering for the
variable pulse-width errata. The workaround entails always running
the chip at 3MHz and stuffing the channel with repeated bytes to
achieve the desired baudrate.
This has no effect on programming speed. Note, however, that now a
baudrate option -b750000 has to be used to achieve maximum speed.
(Option enabled by default now.)

Submitted by David Mosberger-Tang:
* ft245r.c: Remove the reader thread (also removes
patch #9079)
Eliminate separate reader thread by tracking how many bytes are queued
in the FTDI chip's RX FIFO and reading those bytes when it fills up
(since in synchronous bitbang mode, the chip won't send any more bytes
until it has space in the RX FIFO). This reduces TPI programming time
by another 33%.
Since write data is now queued as much as possible, we need flush this
queued data (a) before reading and (b) before sleeping. For the
latter case, a new helper function ft245r_usleep() is introduced.
