Using `PROGRAMMER=bmp` has been proven to work reliably at least on
SAMD21, SAMD5x and SAML21.
Since using unsupported programmers is treated as a warning, this change
only reduces the noise in the shell a bit and is not a functional
change.

Setting up a DMA transfer can take longer than sending out a buffer
byte by byte if the buffer is small.
DMA only shows advantages for large buffers, using it for every transfer
will cause a net slowdown.
Since we did not come up with a good way to determine the treshold based
on the SPI frequency, just use a fixed buffer for now so that DMA can be
used without slowing things down overall.
The sam0 MCUs all have a DAC peripheral.
The DAC has a resulution of 10 or 12 bits and can have one or two
output channels.
The output pins are always hard-wired to PA2 for DAC0 and PA5 for DAC1
if it exists.
On the same54-xpro I would only get a max value of ~1V when using the
internal reference, so I configured it to use an external voltage reference.
The external reference pin is hard-wired to PA3, so you'll have to connect
that to 3.3V to get results.
Switch from the on-chip LDO to the on-chip buck voltage regulator
when not fast internal oscillators are used.
On `saml21-xpro` with `examples/default` this gives
**before:** 750 µA
** after:** 385 µA
Also adapt the defines to the documentation
- CPUs define up to 4 power modes (from zero, the lowest power mode,
to PM_NUM_MODES-1, the highest)
- >> there is an implicit extra idle mode (which has the number PM_NUM_MODES) <<
Previously on saml21 this would always generate pm_set(3) which is an illegal state.
Now pm_layered will correctly generate pm_set(2) for IDLE modes.
Idle power consumption dropped from 750µA to 368µA and wake-up from standby is also
possible. (Before it would just enter STANDBY again as the mode register was never
written with the illegal value.)
