Add a NOR flash mechanism where erase_address ranges can be padded
out to sector boundaries, triggering a diagnostic:
> flash erase_address 0x0001f980 16
address range 0x0001f980 .. 0x0001f98f is not sector-aligned
Command handler execution failed
in procedure 'flash' called at file "command.c", line 647
called at file "command.c", line 361
>
> flash erase_address pad 0x0001f980 16
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f800 to 0x0001f97f
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f990 to 0x0001fbff
erased address 0x0001f980 (length 16) in 0.095975s (0.163 kb/s)

This addresses what would otherwise be something of a functional
regression. An earlier version of the interface had a dangerous
problem: it would silently erase data outside the range it was
told to erase. Fixing that bug turned up some folk who relied on
that unsafe behavior. (The classic problem with interface bugs!)
Now they can get that behavior again. If they really need it,
just specify "pad".

Add file comments to a few files. Make the GDB server use
more conventional (pointer-free) hex digit conversion.

Make "usage" messages use the same EBNF as the User's Guide;
no angle brackets. Improve and correct various helptexts.
Don't use "&function"; a function's name is its address.
Remove a couple instances of pointless whitespace; shrink a
few overlong lines; fix some bad indents.
Add TODO list entry re full support for NAND/NOR bank names.

Print "ssize_t" as "%ld" (+ cast to long) not as "%zu".
Official MinGW (gcc 3.4.5) doesn't understand "z" flag.

It's currently allocating a big buffer but writing it out in
units of sizeof(host's pointer) ... sub-optimal.
Plus fix a couple minor coding style goofs.

Rename the existing 'flash banks' implementation as 'flash list', and
replace the broken 'flash_banks' TCL wrapper with a new command handler.
Adds documentation for the new 'flash list' command in the user guide.
Splits the exec mode commands out of flash.c into the flash/nor/ files.
The routines used by these high-level commands are moved into nor/core.c,
with their internal declarations placed in nor/imp.h.
Fixes distribution of <flash/nor/core.h> header.
The newly moved flash TCL routines access the internals of the module
too much. Fix the layering issues by adding new core NOR flash APIs:
<flash/nor/core.h>:
- flash_driver_find_by_name() - self-descriptive
<flash/nor/imp.h>:
- flash_bank_add() - encapsulates adding banks to bank list
- flash_bank_list() - encapsulates retreiving bank list
This allows the externs in flash/nor/imp.h to be removed, and
these mechanisms may now be re-used by other flash module code.
Moves the top-level 'flash' command handlers into flash/nor/tcl.c,
with flash/nor/imp.h providing an internal implementation header
to share non-public API components.
