If flasher is changed then make will still see it as a FLASH
dependency and try to execute the target which will likely not
exist.
A use case for this is when flashing on a remote machine and setting
FLASHER=ssh to then execute the FLASHER on the remote.
This is used now to set the `DEBUGSSERVER` as the `gdb_agent_console`
file was removed from UniFlash.

The generic approach of calling avrdude to perform a reset with `make reset`
does also work on board with a bootloader, but only if no other process is
also accessing the serial (e.g. via `make term`). `make test` first accesses
the serial and then performs `make reset` to not miss any output on the serial.
This however blocks when `make reset` also wants to access that serial.
As workaround, `make reset` is no only provided if the ATmega device is not
programmed via bootloader. Normally, those boards reset anyway upon `make term`,
which allows `make test` to work normally again.
miniterm.py is a simple terminal program that is included with pyserial.
This means that it is available wherever pyterm can work. It allows raw
access, does line translation and passes through special characters.

In order to flash AVR devices, avrdude needs the ability to reset them:
Those using a bootloader will only enter it after a reset, and those programmed
via ISP also need a reset to enter ISP mode.
Sadly, avrdude has no option to reset the board. But running it without commands
will read and print the boards identification and fuse settings. For this, as
reset is needed. This commit uses this side-effect reset to implement make reset
for all AVR based boards
- Move serial.inc.mk in mega-xplained/Makefile.include after
PROG_DEV so PROG_DEV can still default to PORT
- Add deprecation warning for arduino-leonardo and mega-xplained
By ensuring the PORT auto-detection worked, we can give meaningful
error messages and fail earlier.
This uses ensure_value from makefiles/utils/checks.mk. An include was
added to Makefile.include to make this fuction available to all other
makefiles.
This script can detect [Black Magic Probes](https://github.com/blacksphere/blackmagic/wiki) and act as a flashloader (and more).
It is compatible with Linux and macOS.
All important options that can be set via the monitor command are available as arguments.
Makefiles for using `make flash`, `make erase`, `make debug` and `make term` with the script are included.
