This patch adds support for a new SPI programmer, based on the FT2232H/4232H chip from FTDI
FTDI support is autodetected during compilation.

There are certainly possible improvements: The code has hard-coded
values for which interface of the ftdi chip to use (interface B was
chosen because libftdi seems to have trouble with A right now), what
clock rate use for the SPI interface (I've been running at 30Mhz, but
the patch sets it to 10Mhz), and possibly others. I think this means
that per-programmer options might be a good idea at some point.

There is one additional FIXME comment in the code, but AFAICS that
problem is not solvable with current libftdi.

The dummy programmer has an optional parameter specifying the bus types it
should support. For that you have to use the
.B "flashrom -p dummy=type"
