libaltos: Mac OS X cannot use 'poll(2)' on serial lines.
Who ships this stuff, anyway? Instead of blocking, we'll poll every 100ms now,
otherwise, we won't be able to abort the read when the device is closed. Yay!

altosui: provide separate flush_input/flush_output for serial. deal with monitor automatically
(yes, this should be two patches, but the diffs in AltosSerial were merged together).
First, this replaces the existing flush/flush_reply mess with two simple functions,
one to flush output to the serial device, making sure that all data written will be seen
while we wait for input. The other sucks any pending input off of the serial line and
discards it.
Second, AltosSerial now tracks whether the serial line is being used for telemetry
monitoring. If so, it enables monitoring, otherwise it disables it. Eliminates a
bunch of manual state tracking elsewhere.

altosui: Serial line is in UTF-8 encoding. Deal with it.
We read bytes from the serial line and need to convert each line into
a string. So, save the bytes and at EOL, pass the whole mess to the
string constructor with the appropriate encoding info.

analysing old files.

altos: mark gps date written only after it gets into eeprom
Data logging doesn't start until boost detect occurs. As the GPS date
is only logged once, if that happens before logging is written to the
flash, then the GPS date will never get saved.

altos: always rebuild ao_product.c to track git version
The git version is built into ao_product.c and saved in eeprom log
files, providing useful diagnostics about the firmware revision used
for each flight. However, if ao_product.c isn't recompiled, then the
updated version won't be included. Force recompilation of this file
each time make is run to ensure that the final output contains an
updated version number.

altosui: flush replies from serial link when entering debug mode
We use replies in debug mode a lot and depend on them matching the
expected parameters. The case which caused trouble was using
TeleMetrum to reprogram TeleDongle -- sending the 'm 0' command (to
disable telemetry monitoring on TeleDongle) to the TeleMetrum caused
it to reply 'Syntax Error' which confused the subsequent flashing
operation. Flushing that reply gets things back in sync.

altosui: write USB serial number string while flashing
USB serial number is encoded in UCS2 as a part of the string

altosui can find it. altosui is changed to write the serial number there.

altos: Place rom config variables in fixed location
The device serial number and radio calibration values are stored in
flash, mostly so that TeleDongle gets them saved.
Placing them in well-known locations (starting at 0xa0) makes it
possible to find the previous configuration and to re-write it
easily, without requiring the .map file.
altosui doesn't have the .map file parsing code, so it relies upon
this new technique. As a benefit, it reads the old values from the
device before reprogramming it.

The API to the library is mostly unchanged, except that it now exports
