The doccheck script reports reports a false positive when executed from
any directory but `RIOTBASE`. With this fix, `make doc` changes into
the currently unused `RIOTBASE` variable.
This is an alternative approach to #7217, which removes this variable,
but keeps the false positive aspect of the script untouched.
When installing the `serial` package (in contrast to `pyserial`)
the pyterm script will print a cryptic error message and fail.
This is because both packages, though unrelated, expose a `serial`
package (whereas pyserial should expose `pyserial`).
This change catches the error and might save some precious lifetime
of unsuspecting RIOT users, such as myself.
Attempt to decouple board configuration from debugger interface
configuration by specifying the DEBUG_IFACE variable for the debug
hardware interface to use.
The object-like access to frame information in the traceback was only
introduced in Python 3.5. Before that version it was a 4-tuple [[1]].
The indexed way to access the frame seems to be upwards-compatible for
newer versions (tested with python 3.5, maybe some of the Arch crew can
test with even newer versions), so I used that one.

We are at a point were building all of RIOT takes massive amounts of
storage. Since my machine runs full after only compiling ~20
applications (I have ~170 GB free storage if the RIOT repo is clean).
Thus the easiest solution for the compile tests is to just clean-up the
mess they made ;-).
- Merge flash and flash-elf commands since they were identical except
for the file name of the image
- Split GDB command from DBG environment variable to allow more easily
configure front-ends for GDB via environment variables.
- Remove verbose tests of empty variables and replace by `: ${VAR:=default}`
- Remove passed command line arguments to sub-functions, they were
unused in the functions anyway.
- Remove TUI variable, use `export DBG_EXTRA_FLAGS=-tui` to get the same
result.
Significantly improves throughput and latency on FRDM-KW41Z.
