Joerg Wunsch 8c6c6a14ec Remove the "safemode" feature.
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.

Joerg Wunsch a3bf6cc4c5 Fix names of Logic Green devices
There's some confusion as the datasheet calls the device family
LGT8FX8P but the devices itself are LGT8F88P through LGT8F328P.
Obviously, the "X" is actually a wildcard denoting the flash size.

Joerg Wunsch c69627a87c Update NEWS
Structure has also been changed to use the Github terminology
(issues and pull requests, rather than bugs and patches).

Joerg Wunsch 3a8af359f3 Update toplevel files.
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.
