Summary: Allow for the same device designations as avrdude

Initial Comment:
Avarice has requires a long device description, like 'attiny85', avrdude uses a short string 't85' for the same device. Both programs should accept the same designations.

Message:
Unlike AVRDUDE (which has to know the device type beforehand in order
to know which protocol/protocol variant to talk), you can normally get
away in AVaRICE without specifying *any* device ID.  As AVaRICE can
only talk either JTAG or debugWIRE (which is distinguished by the -w
option), it is then safe to query the JTAG ID over this connection.

AVaRICE will then use the queried ID to select the device from the
device table.  The only useful purpose of the -P option is when you're
using a device that is not officially supported, but can be talked to
by selecting a compatible device (the -P option always works as an
override over the queried device ID).
