This removes the need for doing an extra pointer dereference on every
access to the buffers, shrinking the code by around 100 bytes.
The members for these buffers must be public for now, since the
interrupt handlers also need to access them. These can later be made
private again.
Furthermore, the struct ring_buffer was removed. This allows the all
head and tail pointers to be put into the HardwareSerial struct before
the actual buffers, so the pointers all end up in the first 32 bytes of
the struct that can be accessed using a single instruction (ldd).

Otherwise, you get an error when compiling for processors with no serial port because the header file is always compiled.
See, for an example of the problem: https://github.com/damellis/attiny/issues/8
Before, the UMSELn1 bit was being to set to 1, putting the UART into a reserved mode. Now, we only set the high (0x80) bit to 1 for the ATmega8, which is needed to access UCSRnC (whose i/o address is shared with UBRRH).
Also, no longer bitwise-or the new config with the existing register value, because we're actually configuring all the settings in the register. (We're not using UCPOL, but it's supposed to be 0 in asynchronous mode.)
Mostly useful for Leonardo - simple way to test whether the port is actually opened by an application and ready to receive data. For Serial objects attached to real UARTs always returns true.

- moving back to multple cores per platform
- using target instead of platform
- moving per-board and per-programmer preferences out of Preferences.java and into a new Target class
- adding a new "target" preference
- support for platform:value values in board preferences for bootloader path and core
- XXX: need to support platform:value syntax for board upload.using preferences.
Compilation still has problems (Thread error on success, and can't handle non-pde files in a sketch).
Modified the Mac OS X make.sh to copy the hardware, avr tools, and example over.
Removing some of the antlr stuff.
Disabling the Commander (command-line execution) for now.
Added Library, LibraryManager, and Target.
Added support for prefixed preferences (e.g. for boards and programmers).
