Thanks to Johannes Sjölund for reporting that the Bus Pirate init could
not deal with a Bus Pirate which is already in binary Bitbang mode.

This is caused by a combination of the slowness of the Bus Pirate, the
slowness of USB and a fast serial port flush routine which just flushes
the buffer contents and does not wait until data arrival stops.

Make the Bus Pirate init more robust by running the flush command 10
times with 1.5 ms delay in between.

This code development was sponsored by Mattias Mattsson. Thanks! Tested
a few dozen times, should work reliably.

Programmer specific functions are of absolutely no interest to any file
except those dealing with programmer specific actions (special SPI
commands and the generic core).

The new header structure is as follows (and yes, improvements are
possible):
flashchips.h  flash chip IDs
chipdrivers.h  chip-specific read/write/... functions
flash.h  common header for all stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere
hwaccess.h hardware access functions
programmer.h  programmer specific functions
coreboot_tables.h  header from coreboot, internal programmer only
spi.h SPI command definitions

 - Fix coding-style, whitespace, and indentation in a few places.

 - Consistently use the same spelling ("Super I/O") everywhere.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r933.

 - Make some flashrom stdout output look a bit nicer.

As UNC also works for smaller names, just retarget all requests for
dev=COMx on win32 to \\.\COMx. Tested with large and small COM port
numbers on XP.

- replace the hand written serial input flush routine with the termios one.
- serialport_discard_read isn't necessary anymore - it just wrapped
  sp_flush_incoming with no extra value.
- serialport_read and serialport_write would misbehave if read or write
  didn't process everything in one go.
- sp_flush_incoming should be #define'd out for FAKE_COMMUNICATION like
  serialport_discard_read was

While at it, also rename a few functions to make it obvious
that they are generic and not specific to the Bus Pirate.

This is the first step in enabling platform independent serprog and it
also allows other drivers to use serial port functionality without
requiring serprog.

Pure code move, no code changed.
