The only thing that's different between all these chips is the flash
size, which can easily be passed as a linker flag instead. This removes
a bunch of duplicate code in an uncommon language (linker script).
I've also fixed a few boards with incorrect flash sizes:
* nano-rp2040 has 16MB instead of 2MB
* macropad-rp2040 has 8MB instead of 2MB
* gopher-badge has 8MB instead of 1MB
This prefix isn't actually used and only adds noise, so remove it.
It may have been useful on Linux that makes a distinction between
/dev/ttyACM* and /dev/ttyUSB* but it isn't now. Also, it's unlikely that
the same vid/pid pair will be shared between an acm and usb driver
anyway.
This can be very useful for some purposes:
* It makes it possible to disable the UART in cases where it is not
needed or needs to be disabled to conserve power.
* It makes it possible to disable the serial output to reduce code
size, which may be important for some chips. Sometimes, a few kB can
be saved this way.
* It makes it possible to override the default, for example you might
want to use an actual UART to debug the USB-CDC implementation.
It also lowers the dependency on having machine.Serial defined, which is
often not defined when targeting a chip. Eventually, we might want to
make it possible to write `-target=nrf52` or `-target=atmega328p` for
example to target the chip itself with no board specific assumptions.
The defaults don't change. I checked this by running `make smoketest`
before and after and comparing the results.
