Counting the number of bytes written to a memory and/or verified is not
trivial owing to potential holes in the input file and to potential trailing
0xff bytes in flash memory that are not written per default (but see -A). The
new function memstats(), which is best called just after an input file has
been read into mem->buf/mem->tags, computes the right number of bytes written
and allows easy computation of the number of bytes verified.
This commit also changes the strategy for the default verification after
writing to a chip memory, so that the input file only needs reading once thus
enabling successful verification of stdin input files.
Other, minor changes:
- Improving the grammar of AVRDUDE output, eg, 1 byte written instead of
1 bytes written
- Better description of the input file structure in terms of its sections,
the interval it spans, the number of pages, the number of padding bytes
in pages, and the number of actually cut off trailing 0xff bytes for flash
- Printing <stdin> or <stdout> instead of - in the -U routines
- Option -V no longer needs to be specified before option -U in order to work
As an aside this commit also provides useful helper functions for printing
plural(), inname(), outname() and interval() all of which return strings fit
for printing.

This enables the new quell terminal command to switch on and off progress
reports to the terminal. The code for this was moved from main.c to term.c.
It can be used as library call for other frontends than main.c

In certain situations (CRC failure, device locked), that JTAG3
read functions need to return an indication to the caller that
it is OK to proceed, and allow erasing the device anyway.
Historically, the JTAG3 code passed the respective protocol
errors directly (and unexplained) up to the caller, leaving
the decision to the caller how to handle the situation.
Replace that by a more common return value API. New code should
prefer this API instead of any hardcoded return values.
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.
For one, this allows us to use MSG_DEBUG in order to emit debug
messages (requires -v processing).
As another effect, if the -C conffile option was given, there is no
need at all to run through all the process of looking up a system
config file - it's right there already.
Also, move it after the logfile creation if -l logfile was given, so
the respective debug message can go to the logfile.
