SPI bitbanging on devices which speak SPI natively has a dual-use
problem: We need to shut down normal SPI operations to do the bitbanging
ourselves. Once we're done, it makes a lot of sense to reenable "normal"
SPI operations again. Add request_bus/release_bus functions to struct
bitbang_spi_master.
Add a bitbang shutdown function (not used yet).
Change MCP SPI and Intel NIC SPI to use the new request/release bus
infrastructure.
Cosmetic changes to a few error messages (80 column limit).
There are multiple possible strategies for bus request/release:
- Request at the start of a SPI command, release immediately afterwards.
- Request at the start of a SPI multicommand, release once all commands
of the multicommand are done.
- Request on programmer init, release on shutdown.
Each strategy has its own advantages. For now, we will stay with the
first strategy which worked fine so far.

- Fix incorrect whitespace, indentation, and coding style in some places.
- Drop '/**' Doxygen comments, we don't use Doxygen. Even if we would use
it, the comments are useless as we don't have any Doxygen markup in there.
- Use consistent vendor name spelling as per current website (NVIDIA,
abit, GIGABYTE).
- Use consistent / common format for "Suited for:" lines in board_enable.c.
- Add some missing 'void's in functions taking no arguments.
- Add missing fullstops in sentences, remove them from non-sentences (lists).

SPI is detected.
