Allow avrdude to erase the chip before programming during ispload
We currently pass the -D (do not erase) option to avrdude unconditionally in order to work around an Arduino Mega bootloader bug. However, this has the side-effect of breaking the ispload target for all non-XMEGA chips, since a write operation on these chips essentially ANDs the new program with the existing memory contents. If the memory is not first erased to contain only 0xff, the resulting image is garbage. This patch makes it so we pass -D when we're using the Arduino bootloader but don't pass it when we're using ISP directly.
